Veterans in the Workforce: Why They’re a Smart Hire 💼 Hiring veterans isn’t just a good deed—it’s a strategic advantage. These professionals bring discipline, leadership, and specialized skills that make them top performers in the civilian workforce. Here are some key facts on why veterans are great hires: ✅ Unmatched Work Ethic 🔹 In a SHRM survey, 68% of employers rate veterans' work ethic as above average compared to civilian employees ✅ Proven Leadership & Teamwork 🔹 80% of service members hold leadership roles early in their careers, making them natural leaders in any workplace. ✅ High-Demand Technical Skills 🔹 Each year, 200,000+ service members transition into civilian careers—many with certifications in engineering, IT, logistics, and cybersecurity. ✅ Thrives Under Pressure 🔹 Veterans excel in high-stakes roles—think operations, IT, healthcare, and defense. ✅ Security Clearance & Integrity 🔹 Hiring a veteran with a clearance can save companies $10K-$15K in background check costs. ✅ Lower Turnover & Higher Loyalty 🔹 A LinkedIn survey found that Veterans stay 1.3x longer in their jobs than non-veteran employees. ✅ Tax Benefits for Employers 🔹 Companies can receive up to $9,600 in tax credits per veteran hired (WOTC - Work Opportunity Tax Credit). ✅ Fast Learners & Adaptable 🔹 65% of employers say veterans ramp up faster than civilian hires. 🎯 Looking to add veteran talent to your team?
