Later this week, on July 25th, we proudly support the Department of Labor's initiative to encourage employers to increase their veteran workforce. Did you know? - Roughly 200,000 military members retire or separate from the armed services every year. - These veterans bring competitive skills to civilian jobs, along with core values cultivated during military service:   - Dedication   - Teamwork   - Good communication   - Pride in getting work done However, finding and competing for civilian positions can be challenging for transitioning veterans.

In honor of Military Appreciation Month, businesses must double-down on their efforts to support veterans entering the civilian workforce. These individuals face a host of challenges. For example, did you know that workplace stigmas force 40% of veterans to hide their military background, or that just 19% employers believe veterans have communication skills? Did you also know that the unemployment rate for veterans rose to 3.2% this year? Businesses need to do better at recognizing and leveraging the value of military experience, not only because it’s the least they can do to support those who served our country, but also because it’s the key to remaining innovative, agile and competitive. In her latest insight, Patricia Lucero, Lead Associate at Hanover, draws from her own military experience to explore the obstacles veterans face, how businesses can break these down and what value they can unlock from doing so.

𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠! Today, I want to recognize and thank those 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬. Their investment and sacrifices give us freedom and opportunity to pursue our own professions and passions. When these men and women become veterans, I would encourage you to look at 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐭! Here are 6 great traits! 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭– Veterans are highly trustworthy. These are people who have security clearances, after all. 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 – A veteran often trained in one area but was moved to another. They had to quickly embrace change, train, learn and adapt. At the same time, they learned how to leverage their existing training, skills and knowledge in new roles. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 – A military member could be sitting in an office one day, and the next day they could be deployed to a disaster area or war zone. Military veterans are highly flexible to changing business needs. 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 – The military is always on the leading edge of technology. Thus, military members have often seen things nobody else has. Thus, military veterans have been conditioned to be very technology-minded, always thinking about how innovation could advance their mission. 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – Nobody is more loyal than a military member. Veterans have come to embrace the same values that are revered by manufacturing companies: We also recently had 2 service members on The Maintainers podcast where they shared their experiences going from service into manufacturing.
