SYRACUSE — The Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University and GE are partnering on an effort to promote the business case for hiring veterans.
The institute and GE have launched an online toolkit for use by executive leaders, human resources professionals, veteran employees, and peer co-workers designed to demonstrate the business reasons for hiring, retaining, and advancing veterans in careers in the private sector, according to the institute. The toolkit, available at toolkit.vets.syr.edu, will be curated by stakeholders and include leading practices in leadership, preparedness, human resources processes, practices, and tools, and co-worker and peer resources.
The resource builds on earlier work started by the institute with support from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Robin Hood in collaboration with McKinsey & Co. and information from more than 40 private sector businesses, according to the institute.
