Does Your Diversity Initiative Include Veterans? While most organizations may be aware of the competitive advantages of a diverse and inclusive workplace, many are not prepared to successfully attract, hire and retain veterans.

When it comes to fostering diversity & inclusion (D&I) in the workplace, campaigns for hiring veterans are an absolute must-have. As companies focus on industry experience as a key hiring criterion, this segment has a risk of being left out. As a result, unemployment or underemployment among veterans continues to be a challenge. The representation of veterans in the workplace has slightly improved over the last few years.

Finding pools of untapped talent to fill in-demand roles is HR's top priority. Hiring military veterans has proven to be a successful strategy; in addition to gaining high-performing employees with low turnover, companies generally earn enormous goodwill from customers and a public-image boost when they commit to hiring more military veterans.

In this context NASSCOM with the support of our Knowledge partner Broadridge is organizing our next Leaders Speak Series with the theme of "Hiring Heroes - Building a Veteran-Friendly Workforce". On 6^th December in Hyderabad.
