Life after service

What does it mean to serve? For most, a career in the military and what it is to be a soldier are complete unknowns. Deployment conjures up images of courage, danger, and endurance. Yet the resourcefulness and problem-solving skills that the military imparts to its personnel also make them a resource to civilian industries. A resource that is often under-appreciated and under-utilised by business. In this episode, we speak with two veterans to learn what former soldiers bring to a business. We will understand the obstacles that companies unknowingly put in their way, from misperceptions about military culture to the challenges of translating military experience into civilian terms. We’ll also explore what can be done to help businesses benefit from the skill sets of those who have lived a life in uniform, fostering stronger, more diverse teams in the process, and promoting long-term business growth, efficiency, and resilience.
