The Bureau of National Affairs (BNA) conducted a recent survey of holiday practices and found that three in ten employers (30 percent) will give all or most workers a paid holiday on Monday, January 17th in observance of Martin Luther King Day. It got me to wondering how many companies offer their employees a paid [...]

Many companies realize that the term “diverse” applies to more than just the demographics of the people who work for their organization. Diversity is also important in determining who to market your company to (and how) and the means by which your company purchases goods and services. When I talk to companies about adding a [...]

One of my most popular educational topics on recruiting military veterans is a seminar entitled “Military Applicant Sourcing Options”.

The 2010 Annual Conference and Expo, which concluded on June 30th in San Diego, offered a modified 2-day program entitled “Military Veterans: Transitioning [...]

When I talk to employers about the business benefit of hiring military veterans as part of their talent acquisition strategy, it’s a pretty easy sell, especially when I describe service members who have engineering, management, technician, human resources, healthcare, IT or security skills. The one group that most employers think has little relevance to what [...]

I was speaking with a client recently who had worked with Bradley-Morris, Inc. (BMI) before and had just joined a new company. He contacted us in pursuit of hiring JMOs (Junior Military Officers that are transitioning out of the military into a civilian career). He’d obviously had a good experience which I asked him to [...]
