Metro Milwaukee SHRM

This November, we celebrate National Veterans and Military Families Month by recognizing the immense strength, resilience, and sacrifices of those who support our nation’s heroes. Behind every service member, there are family members who serve in their own way, providing unwavering support through the challenges of military life. As we honor veterans for their courage, let’s also take time to acknowledge the families who stand beside them. Your contributions and sacrifices are equally vital to our nation's strength. Thank you for your steadfast dedication. Here are some impactful items employers can implement to support and honor employees who are veterans and their families: 🇺🇸 Offer Paid Time Off for Veterans Day Monday November 11th: Recognize Veterans Day as a paid holiday for veterans and military families, allowing them time to honor or participate in ceremonies. 🇺🇸Create or Expand Veteran Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): Establish or grow a dedicated ERG where veterans and their family members can connect, share experiences, and access support. 🇺🇸 Support Career Development & Training: Offer specialized training, mentorship, or leadership development programs tailored to veterans to help them translate military skills into career advancement. 🇺🇸 Flexible Scheduling for Military Family Needs: Provide flexible work schedules for veterans or military family members, accommodating events like deployments, homecomings, or family care during active duty. 🇺🇸 Launch a Veteran Hiring Program: Develop an initiative to recruit, hire, and retain veterans, ensuring a seamless transition from military to civilian careers. Promote the benefits and value veterans bring to the workplace. 🇺🇸 Provide Mental Health and Wellness Resources: Ensure access to mental health resources tailored to veterans' unique experiences, such as counseling services, PTSD support, or resilience training. 🇺🇸 Recognize Military Service in the Workplace: Publicly acknowledge and celebrate veterans and their contributions to the company. Share stories, highlight service anniversaries, or honor them during events or in newsletters. 🇺🇸 Extend Benefits to Military Spouses: Offer career support and flexible benefits for spouses of military members, such as remote work options or career counseling to accommodate the demands of military life. These initiatives demonstrate a company's commitment to valuing the contributions of veterans and their families while also fostering an inclusive, supportive work environment.
