Military Community at Work - Unlocking the Potential of the Military Community

SHRM Foundation’s goal through our Military Community at Work initiative is to build awareness, inform and shape the recruitment, hiring, and retention practices of workplaces as it relates to the military community.

The presentation today is aimed at supporting your interest and efforts in unlocking the potential of this talent pool and understanding Best Practices & HR Strategies for sustaining military hiring programs.

The military community is a rich source of untapped talent for the intense labor shortages and ongoing upheaval and transition occurring in workplaces.

The Military Community Ambassadors Program is designed to be a force multiplier to increase the knowledge and expertise of HR professionals, people managers and business leaders to support stronger military community hiring and workplaces.
