The U.S. Department of Labor announced the availability of a new online toolkit to guide employers through the process for hiring veterans. The free toolkit is designed to assist & educate employers who have made the proactive decision to include veterans & wounded warriors in their recruitment & hiring initiatives.
"This toolkit was created with these employers in mind. It's designed to simplify the process & put valuable, vetted resources at the employer's fingertips." said Ray Jefferson.
Developed as part of the department's "America's Heroes at Work" initiative, the Veterans Hiring Toolkit features a straightforward six-step process pinpointing helpful tools for a business to design a veterans hiring initiative. These steps include creating an educated and welcoming environment for veteran employees; actively recruiting veterans, wounded warriors and military spouses; learning how to accommodate qualified veterans and wounded warriors in the workplace; & promoting an inclusive workplace to help retain veteran employees. The toolkit also helps employers navigate the plethora of resources for hiring veterans available to them.
The final section features a quick reference list of reputable online resources to help users find and welcome talented and skilled veterans into their companies & answers to common employer questions about hiring veterans and wounded warriors. Whether users are looking to create a veterans hiring program from scratch or retool existing efforts, the toolkit can help them implement a customized initiative.
