What are the reasons that you should want veterans to work in your company?

Leadership, project management and accountability are drilled into you at every level E-1 to O-10. Plus dependability.

Six (6) Character Traits that Make Veterans Great Employees:
1. Camaraderie: Teamwork is crucial for a business’s success, but too few people in the workplace know how to really work together as a team. Camaraderie is a crucial part of the military experience, and can be highly beneficial for employers who choose to bring these skills into the workplace.
2. Communication: Veterans have the ability to communicate a message quickly, clearly, and efficiently. Employers place high emphasis on strong communication skills, no matter what type of industry they work in.
3. Professionalism and Respect: All too often, workers tend to forget that just because their workplace has a relaxed atmosphere doesn’t mean they can get away with immaturity and unprofessionalism.
4. Ability to Perform in Stressful Situations: That means they’re less likely to crack under pressure even on the busiest or most stressful of days in the workplace, which can be crucial for industries that work with tight deadlines or sensitive materials.
5. Problem-Solving Skills: Members of the military are in the unique position of having to work to solve problems almost every day, which means that veterans have unrivaled problem-solving abilities when compared to others in the work force.
6. Leadership: Members of the military aren’t followers — they are true leaders, and this is something that can be critical in the workplace.

Veterans are valued for their exceptional leadership qualities, diverse skillsets and dedication to teamwork.

Simple. Veterans act like adults , come in on time, work hard and give an honest day's work and have a superior work ethic.

NCO's are natural Human Resources selections:
Able to perform oral and written evaluations.
Not only skilled at, but trained in presenting training.
Experienced in the less savory, disciplinary and rehabilitative actions often required to return employees to productivity.
Experienced in evaluating skill sets and making assignments based on task accomplishment AND professional growth.

There are many reasons to hire a Vet....but I think the strongest trait we bring to the table is "Discipline".

We know how to follow orders

I like hiring veterans because they u d'état and rank.
They don't have to know the whole an just what to do.
Don't mind doing stuff under there pay grade.
If it had to be done it gets done.
Vets always have some kind of code of ethics.

I've sat in several Employer Panels at Fort Richardson (JBER now) to learn from them what they are looking for and what to do and not to do. Pretty cool what often comes out. The common statements by the many panels are:
1. We like veterans because you actually show up to work.
2. We also like veterans because you come to work on time.
I was shocked to hear it over and over panel after panel.

Veterans are by far the most dominative employees you can have in your team. They naturally go above and beyond the most simple tasks and aren't afraid to outshine their fellow co workers. You don't ever have to be questioned repeatedly by a veteran when instructed to meet the needs of the company's objectives. They just do it and ask questions later. Very goal-oriented and committed.
