The Avrora multimarket chain has started cooperation with the Charitable Organization “Charitable Foundation “VETERAN HUB++” within the scope of the Praktyka project, which provides support for the hiring of veterans in the company and the development of veteran-friendly policies, processes and the creation of a system of benefits for employees with military experience. Since signing the memorandum, we have already held 4 training webinars with HR and department heads on “How to work with veterans and make this interaction mutually beneficial.” We discussed such important issues as:
- What professions do veterans choose after returning from military service?
- The path of a veteran as a company employee.
- Selection and adaptation of veterans in the workplace.
- Implementation of ethical communication with veteran employees.
- Psychological self-support for HR and team managers.
Avrora’s employees were also informed about the possibility of receiving free assistance:
- Legal (initial legal advice);
- psychological (psychological support, counselling, crisis counselling, referrals to
- psychotherapists);information (assistance in finding contacts to meet basic needs).
Veterans, defenders and their families can use these services by calling the support line: 067 348 28 68. At the same time, there are spaces and mobile offices in Kyiv and Vinnytsia.
