Q: What would Fair360, formerly DiversityInc say are the hot topics or common themes currently in the diversity field I assume everyone is trying to figure out how to support the drawdown of troops.
A: The support and hiring of veterans is a hot topic. That’s one of the reasons we will introduce The Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 10 Companies for Veterans list in 2013.
Our data shows that the number of Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 companies that have veterans resource groups increased by 18.2 percent over the past year alone. Companies see the recruitment of veterans as a competitive advantage and are tapping into their veterans resource groups for help. Watch our diversity web seminar on resource groups for more.
