In a supplement to its September issue of TD magazine, the Association for Talent Development (ATD) shares best practices from 16 organizations that are trailblazers in recruiting, developing, and supporting veterans and active duty military. ATD partnered with the Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point (TLDG) to recognize the work of leading organizations that are committed to utilizing the unique skill sets of veterans, helping them transition to meaningful work outside the military, and honoring and supporting active duty, National Guard, Reserves, and veterans.
Trailblazing companies featured in this special publication include: ADP, EMCOR, EY, FedEx, Hilton Worldwide, IAP, Iron Sword Enterprises, Mercedes-Benz USA, Office Depot, PenFed Credit Union, 7-Eleven, Starbucks, Synchrony Financial, University of Phoenix, Wyndham Worldwide, and Xerox. The TD magazine supplement highlights the unique efforts each company is employing as a way of sharing best practices to recruit and develop veterans in the corporate arena.
“At TLDG, we honor veterans every day by teaching corporate executives the timeless military leadership principles that have helped build leaders of character for our nation for over two centuries,” said Dan Rice, President of TLDG. “We have a deep commitment to supporting veterans and we are honored to partner with ATD to share the best practices of organizations that are spearheading unique veterans’ initiatives.”
