As we head into #armedforcesweek, I would really encourage my network to read this brilliant thought leadership document. The paper is the result of a Sodexo led roundtable that brought together many strategic leaders and interested parties in Defence to discuss the Lived Experience. #defenceinfrastructureorganisation #ministryofdefence

As a nation, we have always celebrated our Armed Forces, and rarely more so than during Armed Forces Week. But, with more than 7,000 people leaving than joining last year, our Armed Forces face an existential recruitment and retention challenge. There is no question that the lived experience of our service personnel, on the sites they call home, plays a significant part in people’s decision on whether they want to join, or will continue to serve. As the result of an insightful collaboration with military leaders, industry experts, the charitable and academic sectors and our Sodexo team we have pulled together a white paper discussing the future of the lived experience on base in the 2030s.

We recently ran a campaign on LinkedIn highlighting our offering to veterans which has received great support, and thanks to those of you that shared and commented. It has generated an interesting conversation around who qualifies as a 'veteran'.  The definition of a 'veteran' varies from country to country. For example, in New Zealand it is a very exclusive term as only those former service personnel who served before 1 April 1974 and those with qualifying operational service after that date qualify as a 'veteran'. In the US, anyone who served in the active military and who left under conditions other than dishonourable qualify. The UK Government's definition of "anyone who has served for at least one day in His Majesty's Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve) or Merchant Mariners who have seen duty on legally defined military operations" is probably the most inclusive. It is this wide definition that military charities work to when providing their support and it is also the one that we at Trinity adhere to. We feel that those who volunteered to serve, and served - no matter for how short or long, deserve the very best in return. #military #armedforcescommunity #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans

Understanding the impact of alcoholism among our military veterans is crucial. 🎖️ Knowing the statistics illuminates the challenges they face post-service. 📊 We must uplift and support them in their journey towards recovery, honoring their sacrifices with compassion and care. 🤝 Let’s stand together to ensure every veteran receives the support they need to thrive beyond the battlefield. 🌟 “Your New Dawn Awaits” Available 24/7 for Help 📲 702-595-2995 www.firstdawnrecovery.com #firstdawnrecovery #veteranrecovery #veteranrehabilitation #rehabilitationcenter #mentalhealth #veteranmentalhealth #lasvegasrecoverycenter #lasvegasrecovery

Whether you're serving on active duty, a veteran, or supporter of our veteran community, you don't want to miss this! The VBC purpose is three-fold: 1) Assist transitioning service members through networking, discussions of important events, introductions to industries across the region, and ensuring service members are personally introduced to leaders in the aforementioned groups. 2) Translate our military service to community service, ensuring we continue our leadership into non-profit, volunteer, and civil service organizations.  3) Continue our sense of camaraderie, thus safeguarding the bonds established during our military service and establishing a safety net of resources for veterans.

Honoring Our Heroes: A Social Story for Memorial Day What is Memorial Day? It's a special day in the United States (on the last Monday of May) to remember all the brave men and women who served in the military. These are people who wear uniforms and protect our country. Why do we remember them? ️ Some of these heroes fought in battles to keep us safe, and some might not be here anymore because they died protecting our freedom. How do we celebrate? We visit cemeteries (special places where people are buried) to place flowers on their graves. We might see parades with flags and people in uniforms. (Flags represent America!) What can you do? Help hang a flag! Draw pictures to thank veterans! Spreading Awareness: As we approach Memorial Day, consider sharing resources about veterans' services or organizations supporting military families with your network. #MemorialDay #SocialStory #AutismAwareness #ThankYouVeterans #RememberingHeroes

Between deployments, long-distance relationships, plans getting changed a million times, moving every three years, and just everyday military life, it can be a challenge to plan your military wedding. For these reasons, eloping in the military community is more common than you may think. Here are 5 stories — and some advice — from those who have experienced it all first-hand: https://hubs.ly/Q02hTtR-0 #NationalMarriageWeek #Elopement

The realities of military service, deployments, training, and operational duties places significant constraints on female active-duty military members — especially those in communities like Naval Aviation, the Air Force, and the Space Force. Women in these careers often experience the most obstacles to family building. These women deserve to be recognized for the sacrifices they make and offered comprehensive healthcare that includes support for family building. See how we're supporting servicewomen in these communities. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ef5wGrwk #infertilitysupport #militaryinfertility #militaryfamilysupport #familybuilding
