🎧 HR Insights - Building Inclusive Workplaces for Veteran Talent

In this episode of Nine to Thrive HR, host Cindi Koetzle sits down with retired Lt. Col. Kathy Lowrey Gallowitz, founder of Vanguard Veteran LLC, to discuss how HR leaders can create inclusive environments that attract and support veteran talent. Kathy shares her mission to help civilian employers recognize the unique skills veterans bring to the workforce, such as adaptability, leadership, and teamwork. She offers strategies for attracting and retaining veterans, including effective onboarding, mentoring programs, and establishing veteran Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). 

💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day:  Introduce flexible work options that cater to diverse employee needs, whether it's remote work, compressed work weeks, or flexible hours. Tailoring work arrangements to individual preferences can lead to higher employee satisfaction and retention.

Trick of the Day:  Encourage collaboration by implementing a "reverse mentoring" program where younger employees can mentor senior staff on emerging trends, technologies, or social media. This benefits both parties and encourages a culture of learning across age groups.

🧾 HR Case Files: Filling Critical Leadership Roles and Training a Recruiter

A New York City-based wellness and fitness company with 2,000 employees needed help to fill key leadership positions and train a junior recruiter to handle hourly staff recruitment. OperationsInc successfully filled 18 roles, including leadership positions like Director of Total Rewards, in under six weeks. We also provided training to empower the client’s junior recruiter to manage staffing for on-site roles, ultimately providing cost savings and enhancing the client’s recruitment capabilities.

Key Takeaways

  • Efficient recruitment processes ensure that leadership roles are filled quickly and effectively.

  • Ongoing training for recruitment teams improves hiring outcomes and organizational alignment.

  • Streamlined recruitment efforts contribute to business success by reducing time-to-hire and enhancing talent quality.
