Description
Every year, approximately 200,000 U. S. military service members transition to civilian life. Many of these veterans become incredibly valued members of the civilian workforce. Most employers recognize and value the wide-ranging experience and transferable skills that veterans bring to the civilian workforce: An overwhelming 94% say that hiring veteran workers is appealing to their organization. As veterans prepare to meet the demands of the civilian workplace, many face unique challenges, such as finding job opportunities that match their military experience and skills.
In this episode, host Dr. I. David Daniels will speak with two veterans of slightly difficult generations and service experiences in the same branch of the military. Michael Carson and Isaiah Hughes share their perspective on not only life as a veteran of the armed forces, but they provide their view on how employers can be more psychologically healthy and safe for veterans. It is not enough to hire veterans; it’s important to create a safe space so former members of the military can both bring their whole selves and be their best selves

This fact, combined with the complex and often highly political nature of public services, often creates significant risk for government and public sector employees based on the diversity and extent of hazards they are exposed to, including psychosocial hazards. The environment can be even more hazardous for workers with cultural differences from the majority in a workplace. The episode features Mayor Maria Mitchell of the City of Miami Springs, Florida. She is not only an extremely skilled and experienced safety professional but a national leader in efforts to provide for the safety of government and public sector workers.
