Why Hiring Veterans Makes Cents
Hiring veterans improves both a company’s bottom line and workforce talent pool. But the hiring process begins long before a resume is received and extends well beyond recruitment. There are several components needed to attract, onboard, integrate, develop and retain veteran hires.
Please note: $10 of every ticket sale will be donated to our charity partner, Operation Renewed Hope Foundation, which provides quality housing and supportive services to our Nation's homeless Veterans.
Specific topics will include:
- Return on investment and why hiring veterans is beneficial to your organization’s bottom line
- Large and small business perspectives on developing a successful Veterans hiring program
- Establishing a reputation as a military friendly employer
- Building upon your existing hiring programs
- Working with veteran-owned business and veterans who are entrepreneurs
Who Should Attend This Event: CEOs, senior level executives, HR personnel and corporate social responsibility leaders from companies of all sizes interested in establishing a veterans hiring program to improve their profitability and talent pool
