EmployeeRelations Reporting for duty: Military is good HR source Veterans bring solid skills to your company By Elaine Dumler In recent years, there has been concern about new employees coming into the work force who may lack the loyalty, dedication and work ethic that employers have come to expect from earlier generations. Times may be changing. But there is an employee base that comes with many of those values intact— military personnel. In this time of economic fragility, hiring military personnel can help you save money by reducing recruiting and training costs. What makes a veteran such a sought-after employee? This is what many companies are finding: ➤ Workers who have served in the military have a history of commitment—to themselves, to each other and to an employer. This sense of loyalty fosters their need to go above and beyond when asked to complete www.bedtimesmagazine.com a project. They are used to reporting for work on time and know the importance of a professional appearance and demeanor. Military employees know how to take responsibility for projects, tasks and personal actions. They are trained to see things through to their conclusion. ➤ The military instills other values that are vital to a thriving business. These include resiliency, respect, patience, trust and honesty. Military personnel have served in an environment where leadership skills, such as being highly motivated and displaying an attitude of dedication, are mandatory. ➤ Veterans are medically and physically fit and ready for work, which translates into fewer sick days and injuries. They already have been screened for drugs and were drugfree while in the service. Members of the military are trained to remain calm in the face of stress and to analyze and evaluate a situation before reacting. This leads to level-headed thinking and decision-making. Veterans arrive with the skills, personality and understanding to do a good job but often don’t know exactly where to put those skills to work. Caring companies like yours can help them refine and use their talents. Incentives for hiring The federal government is continually setting up programs that offer financial incentives for hiring veterans, especially wounded or disabled veterans. These employees may qualify for job training grants and special employer incentives. To find incentives for your business, check www.va.gov or www.nationalresourcedirectory.gov. When you employ someone in the National Guard or military reserves, it puts you in a unique position. You are eligible to sign a Statement of Support that sends a message to the employee that he doesn’t need to be concerned about his civilian job while serving. You may be nominated for awards given by the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve program, which is designed to recognize employers for their military employee practices. These range from the Patriot Award Certificate of Appreciation to the prestigious Freedom Awards given annually by the U.S. Secretary of Defense to the nation’s most supportive employers. Such awards and resulting media exposure can work for your bottom line. You can market your company as one that supports the men and women who serve their country through the military.
