Here’s a great article from Task & Purpose about the transition study titled “New Veterans Initiative Aims to Shed Light on Long-Term Transition Trends.”

Please encourage those still serving in the military to utilize the interactive dashboard now available and ask all veterans to participate in the anonymous survey that supports this effort.

6 年I know when I transitioned it was a VERY humbling experience. I thought I’m the number 2 guy, I have an MBA, a PHR certification and everyone says the civilian community loves hiring vets. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I don’t wish that on anyone. I'm all about preparing them before they depart. But the unfortunate thing is, they are running around trying to take care of everything else that they don't think it will happen to them (until it does).
Human Performance, Strategic Leadership, Operational Solutions. Learning and Education, not HR or labor relations. Crisis solutions, not logistics or personnel.
8 年I have been going back to Maslow's Needs pyramid on this. Military fills the first four tiers (biology, safety, belonging, purpose) and leaves a senior leader at the 5th tier (self-actualization). After departing service you may have the first two sorted, but are knocked back and need to replace tiers 3 and 4. Sadly, most civilian cultures don't care about giving workers a place to belong, or a purpose for coming to work.
