Reviews for Hiring Veterans: How to Leverage Military Talent for Organizational Growth

"""Author Matthew J. Louis is a retired lieutenant colonel from the U.S. Army who currently serves on JP Morgan Chase's external advisory council for military and veterans affairs. In Hiring Veterans, he makes an outstanding case for organizations to actively recruit and hire military veterans. While the focus is on large, for-profit organizations, the book's framework can easily be tailored to smaller and nonprofit organizations as well. In the opening chapters, Louis outlines the many ways in which veterans can enrich the functioning and profitability of an organization. He meticulously maps out a step-by-step plan to position potential employers to fully utilize military veterans' skills and training while minimizing the potential culture shock that some veterans may feel upon entering the civilian workforce. Examples of best practices come from Amazon, Walmart, ADP, USAA, and Procter and Gamble. Detailed appendixes contain a wealth of information regarding pre- and demobilization, sample job descriptions, government benefits, and more. Well written and extremely thorough, this book is a must-have for business collections."" --Jennifer Michaelson, Booklist"
