An important part of an organizations diversity and inclusion strategy is to recruit and hire United States Veterans, and to also be compliant with federal regulations. August is typically the month organizations request employees to self-identity if they have a disability and/or if they are a protected veteran. This information helps organizations to be more inclusive, if they have a better understanding of their employees who have a disability and are protected veterans.
The Fluid Announcement feature is a great way to let employees know to self-identity their disability and veteran status in self-service. These three (3) simple steps below will show you how to announce your organization’s Self Identification for Veterans and Disability Campaign.
