🇺🇸Today, I stand proud, reminding everyone of the sacrifices made in silence by the men and women serving in our nation’s military. #ArmedForcesDay When hiring veterans, it is important to recognize and appreciate 5 valuable skills they bring from their military service to the civilian workforce. 1. **Leadership** - Service members often receive training in leadership that includes managing teams, making critical decisions under pressure, and inspiring others to work towards common goals. 2. **Discipline** - The structured environment of the military instills discipline, teaching individuals to meet deadlines, follow procedures, and maintain a high level of professionalism. 3. **Adaptability** - Military personnel are accustomed to rapidly changing environments and situations, making them particularly adept at adjusting to new challenges and diverse workplace settings. 4. **Teamwork** - The military emphasizes the importance of teamwork to accomplish missions, which translates well into any collaborative environment in the civilian sector. 5. **Problem-solving** - Facing complex situations in often high-stakes scenarios, service members develop keen problem-solving skills, enabling them to navigate difficulties efficiently and effectively. #Military #HireOurVeterans

Top tip! Bring along clothes you love and that show off your personal style! The standard advice on what to wear for your headshot does tend to steer people towards a conservative look. And there are times when it pays to play it safe and follow the company culture! For instance if you are looking to join a new company, or to rise up in the ranks of your current organization, checking to see how the Executive team presents themselves online could provide you with ideas on what to wear for your headshot. But in many instances, especially if you are in a sales, marketing, or creative role, injecting some of your personality into your personal brand can help you to stand out from your competition! More adventurous choices of color, pattern, and accessories can help make you more memorable to your clients and prospects, and to “stop the scroll” here on LinkedIn. I absolutely love this pink jacket Katherine brought along to her Portraits For Patriots® session! Portraits of Patriots is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization with a mission is to ensure that everyone that comes through the program benefits from a high quality professional headshot to aid their transition. #volunteer #personalbranding #charity #stopthescroll 

As part of #ArmedForces week, today marks specific recognition of those in our Reserve Armed Forces. You might even spot some wearing their military uniform to their civilian work today, where safe and practicable. Reservists are commonly cited as "twice the citizen" as they choose to support the Armed Forces in their spare time, typically during the evenings and weekends, but occasionally full-time when the country needs additional support. I was an Army Reservist for 13 years. I had a huge amount of opportunities presented to me which helped my professional development, which, in turn, my employers were able to benefit from. Whether that was transferring ideas/best practice/working models to/from the military and civilian worlds, or in the training & experience I gained in leadership and operational roles. Do you know any Reservists? How does your company support and enable them?

The breadth of aptitude, skills, and training that are transferable and add real value to our business is what makes us who we are. We currently employ 19 colleagues who have either served in the forces or continue to offer their skills as a Reservist or Forces Volunteer. Recognising Armed Forces Week is crucial to us for several reasons: 1) Armed Forces Week is a time to express our gratitude and appreciation for the courageous men and women who have served in the armed forces. This week allows us to honour their sacrifices, dedication, and unwavering commitment to protecting our nation. 2) By recognising Armed Forces Week, we can raise awareness about the challenges faced by veterans and their families long after they have left the military. It helps shed light on the importance of supporting and assisting them in their transition to civilian life; it’s not easy being a civilian! 3) At Whitetree Group, we take great pride in our commitment to supporting our veterans. We believe that their skills, experiences, and dedication are valuable assets to our workforce. We actively work towards creating an inclusive and supportive environment for veterans within our organisation. #ArmedForcesWeek #SupportingVeterans #WhitetreeLife #ProudToServe #ArmedForces Covenant
