[acb-hsp] FW: Veterans Employment Toolkit is Now Live!

[Baracco, Andrew W]

FYI!

The Department of Veterans Affairs has developed a new online Veterans
Employment Toolkit (www.va.gov/vetsinworkplace), aimed at helping
employers, managers and supervisors, human resource professionals, and
EAP providers support employees who are Veterans or members of the
Reserve or National Guard.  Given the many efforts in this country to
increase the hiring of Veterans, the Veterans Employment Toolkit was
designed to help employers, managers and supervisors, and human resource
professionals support Veterans in the workplace to increase Veterans'
retention of employment and facilitate their success in the workplace.
The online toolkit provides information about the value Veterans bring
to the workplace, material describing the military experience and
culture, common challenges Veterans may experience in readjusting to
civilian life and how to support individuals in that transition, general
communication tips for managers and supervisors, and how to support
members in the Reserve and National Guard. The Veterans Employment
Toolkit also includes resources for Veterans looking to obtain
employment and how they can make important career decisions and excel in
the workplace.  If you have any questions or feedback about the toolkit,
please contact Sara Landes (sara.landes at va.gov).
