National Hire a Veteran Day was created in 2017 to encourage veterans to join the civilian workforce and remind employers that the dedication and experience of veterans can breathe new life into a company.
“We recognize the value veterans can bring to our organization,” said Yolanda Walker, Vice President of Culture, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, TouchPoint. “From a strong work ethic, leadership experience, adaptability, and a belief in teamwork, the skills veterans gained during their military service can positively contribute to a diverse and inclusive workplace.”
To help spotlight the topic, TouchPoint spoke with current associates who are military veterans to get their insight into how veterans and soon-to-be veterans can transfer their military skills to a successful career in civilian life. https://vimeo.com/969164364

“These associates have made remarkable contributions during active duty, ensuring our freedoms and the safety of our country,” said Aaron Brown, Co-CEO, TouchPoint. “At TouchPoint they can continue their service by providing that same level of dedication to our patients, residents, guests, and local communities. When it comes to the safety and care of our clients, I can’t think of better hands for them to be in.”
