Recruiting Veterans with Disabilities: Perceptions in the Workplace SHRM Poll - Disability.gov

Image via Wikipedia
How do organizations perceive on-the-job performance of veterans with disabilities? Nearly three-quarters of organizations agreed (responded “strongly agree” or “agree”) that, in general, veterans with disabilities perform on the job as well as any other employee. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in collaboration with ILR – Employment and Disability Institute, Cornell University conducted a poll about recruiting veterans with disabilities, awareness of resources for employers to find qualified job applicants who are veterans with disabilities, diversity programs and more. The poll can be downloaded in PowerPoint format.
Employers who want to include Veterans and wounded warriors in their recruitment and hiring initiatives should check out the Veterans Hiring Toolkit on the America's Heroes at Work website. The National Resource Directory is a good resource for Veterans looking jobs, job training and career counseling. Veterans and military families should also read the Veterans/Military section of this blog and this email sent out by Disability.gov last Veterans Day: http://sharing.govdelivery.com/bulletins/GD/USODEP-106AB8
