Kicking off the 2022 Virginia Veterans and Military Affairs Conference in Richmond, Virginia this morning.
If any connections are here, I’d love to meet you in person during the breaks today. Look for the short redhead 👩🏻‍🦰 in the blue polka dot dress.

If you missed it, the replay of my interview with Anthony Paolino on leveraging workforce development programs to reskill / upskill diverse talent, including military veterans, is available (see link below). Workforce development programs are a great option to build robust talent pipelines by "growing your own talent".

For corporate Manager/VP level TA and Diversity practitioners
*********************************************************************
In the urgency to fill seats, are companies losing ground
on previous diversity gains?
Prior to 2020, many companies were already challenged to find diverse candidates.
In the last two years the pandemic + increasing talent gaps from the "Great Resignation" + a renewed commitment to DE&I have created a perfect storm of TA challenges.
During our March Executive Talent Forum, we will discuss these challenges and look for solutions and tactics.
DATE: Tuesday, March 15, 2022
TIME: 4:00 - 5:00 pm EDT
This online forum, hosted and moderated by The Value Of a Veteran, is for corporate Manager/VP level TA and Diversity practitioners. The event is free to attend and is by invitation only. Up to 4 members from one company may attend.
Non-attributed discussion points and ideas will be summarized and provided to attendees within 2 weeks, post-event.
Request your invitation here: https://lnkd.in/dGYZr4Hs
The Value Of a Veteran reserves the right to decline invitation requests from people/organizations that do not meet the criteria listed above.

RECRUITERS/ TALENT ACQUISITION: Did you know there is one large, underutilized talent pool that is majority female, many with leadership and international experience? That group is military spouses.
And, now that most companies have accepted that work from home and flexible work arrangements are here to stay, the timing is PERFECT to focus on recruiting military spouses.

We will cover:
• How talent mobility and emerging women leaders trends dovetail with the military spouse population
• An overview of the military spouse population with demographics and statistics
• Milspouse experience and education
• How to align a milspouse program with your overall talent strategy

Answering the question "how do you implement diversity initiatives and not alienate non-diverse populations, the discussion turned to communicating how "benefits cascade out, not up" and the example of curb cut outs for people who use wheelchairs. It was implemented to help wheelchair users more easily navigate their surroundings, but its benefit cascaded out to help stroller users, dolly users, etc.
Veterans ARE a diverse population: we are diverse in thought and experience, and our population includes 35%+ minority, 25%+ women, people with disabilities and LGBTQ. The cascading benefit to implementing veteran recruiting initiatives will serve so many other communities.
Skills based hiring: top trends includes digital skills (like cloud computing) and human skills (like collaboration, creativity, leadership, etc). Veterans excel at the human skills, no matter what their previous job title in the military. Veterans also have diversity of thought and life experiences.
"Screen in, not out" I've long advised my clients to look for reasons to INCLUDE veterans, not exclude them when screening candidates for open positions. Recruiters have long been trained to (too) quickly screen out job seekers, and the poorly translated military resumes often hold veterans back from being considered.
YES! Focus on skills rather than specific past job titles! More employers focusing on skills will improve veteran recruiting results rather than looking for specific job titles or specific past experience in the industry.
The new realization that many jobs can be performed from home and under flexible work arrangements will significantly improve the results for military spouses who need those arrangements to keep working while their service member serves his/her country. 95% of military spouses are women. It can also improve employment options for veterans with disabilities who may also need the same arrangements.
"Achieving diversity without a target is relying on hope" We need to hold managers responsible for achieving diversity targets. We hold them responsible for sales/revenue targets and other business metrics, and what gets measured, gets done. Why don't we take diversity metrics just as seriously?
Amen! Laura Long, Vice President, National Equity, Inclusion and Diversity at Kaiser Permanente, says in order to increase diversity, companies need to look beyond their top 10 schools for diverse candidates for internships and leadership development roles because your top 10 schools may not be diverse enough.

Companies with successful veteran recruitment programs know that it takes more effort than simply posting jobs on veteran job boards or attending veteran job fairs.
It takes a strategy and a comprehensive plan that addresses culture, change management, attraction, recruitment, hiring and retention to make an effective program.
During this 90-minute overview session I will review the building blocks of effective veteran recruitment & retention programs including:
• Business case development
• Stakeholder buy-in
• Skills analysis and alignment
• Recruiter and hiring manager training
• Marketing and outreach tactics
• Sourcing channels
• Onboarding and management

Let talk all about coaching!
The coaching program is intended to keep those new hires engaged and focused on adapting and acclimating in that critical first 12-18 months in a civilian job. There is also a focus on re-purposing their military-developed leadership skills to benefit the civilian organization.
The sessions addresses the challenges of transition from military to corporate, while providing actionable steps to determine how to navigate the corporate environment, find new support systems and build new networks while leveraging what the military taught them about acclimating, adapting and improvising when in new environments.
