The All Round Look - Apr 2023 - Ep 2 - Veterans
A regular podcast from the perspective of SMEs working in the defence arena.
This month Jamie and Dan discuss the broad subject of the employment of veterans in UK SMEs. They cover why and when people leave the services; what their expectations are and what it is like to leave a long-term military career. They also discuss the civilian employers perspective and whether there is an unavoidable culture and values gap.
