From an HRD perspective, it is imperative that we recognize and improve the experience of veterans with health concerns stemming from their service. At the same time, we also cannot afford to ignore the transition experiences and adjustment challenges faced by those veterans who do not have these health issues. Although transitioning from the military to a civilian workplace can be challenging, veterans of the armed forces can offer a wealth of valuable skills to the employing organization. This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) intends to discuss what can employing organization do to help in the smooth transition of veterans to the corporate work life and at the same time explore critical research agendas.
