ServiceMaster leaders are preparing to launch specific
partnerships with veteran groups across the U.S., to share relevant
job openings and jointly market their efforts within the
communities their frontline employees already serve. From its
global service center in Memphis, Tennessee, ServiceMaster operates
in more than 25 countries through an extensive service network of
more than 8,000 company-owned locations and franchise license
agreements.
“I understand the difficulty of translating one's military
skills so civilian employers can clearly understand them,” said
David Dart, chief human resources officer for ServiceMaster and a
former Lt. in the U.S. Navy. “If you look specifically at those
transitioning service members, they possess both valuable
leadership and operational skills that could fill a variety of
business needs throughout all levels of our organization, making us
better as a company.”
This past weekend, the company’s veteran appreciation group
volunteered with a chapter of Operation Stand Down. The one-day
event provided critical services to local veterans and their
families that included health screenings, housing referrals and
legal services. In the weeks prior, employees also collected
clothing and other essential items to donate to participating
veterans at the event.
“It has been wonderful partnering with ServiceMaster for the
past two years and we look forward to their continued support,”
said William Jones, founder and executive director of Operation
Stand Down Mid-South and a former Sgt. 1st Class with the U.S.
Army. “We have enjoyed their partnership and they are a valued
partner not only to Operation Stand Down but to the entire military
community.”
According to The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, there are
an estimated 20.8 million living veterans with 250,000
transitioning service members entering the civilian workforce every
year. The National Defense Research Institute reports some of the
top skills they bring with them include critical thinking, project
planning, and team-building, and they serve with a strong sense of
integrity, accountability and perseverance.
“These efforts truly embody our organization’s We Serve, We
Care, and We Deliver philosophy that we strive to achieve for both
our employees and customers every single day,” said Velvet Graham,
senior director of events and community relations for
ServiceMaster, and veteran Air Force Sgt.
National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM) is celebrated
every May and is a declaration that encourages U.S. citizens to
observe the month in a symbol of unity.
ServiceMaster’s veteran appreciation employee resource group
sponsors a variety of events throughout the year that serve
employees and veterans in the communities where they live, work,
and play.
