How does your org handle vets - like supporting and also bridging the gap? I hear EY, Deloitte etc do this well.

I’m with a boutique consulting firm. There are a few of us and I’m feeling a disconnect. Being remote doesn’t help. Love my firm, but an ex: we celebrate ALL the holidays (no complaints) but didn’t even see a Veterans Day post or ack. Not to sound like a whiny, neglected kid, I want to step in to support them and us so your input is much appreciated - new ideas and best practices!

My company has a big event for Veterans day and we just started a Veteran Employee Resource Group. So far it's working out well.

That’s good to hear. Do you mind explaining what the veteran employee resource group does?

What kind of stuff did they do on veteran’s day?

I would say something to your HR department about doing something for Veterans Day.

Many companies say they are all about veterans and getting veterans to work for their companies. However, if you don’t even bother to post anything about your veterans on Veterans Day, that’s just BS. They’re obviously not walking the walk or walking the talk. I realize that that has improved or seems to have improved over the last few years but I know there’s plenty of companies out there that say they want veterans, say they support veterans, and then do nothing for them.

My company has a Veterans group. It's mainly to do things with other veterans. Local office chapters do different things to give back, but it's also nice tell war stories, and just be around people that will have your back.
