Les vétérans constituent l'un des groupes de talent les plus flexibles, versatiles et inconnus du Canada. Ils sont aussi des milliers à chercher du travail. C'est une opportunité critique qui peut permettre à des employeurs de toute sorte de répondre aux besoins de leur organisation dans le monde changeant d'aujourd'hui. Le Guide canadien pour l'embauche de vétérans sert à aider des organisations avec les ressources humaines et capacités de recrutement limitées à bâtir des équipes fortes et résilientes qui incluent des vétérans qualifiés et prêts à remplir des lacunes de main-d'¿uvre ou de compétences. Cette ressource facile à utiliser offre : 1) des outils pratiques pour trouver, embaucher et former des vétérans (incluant une liste d'embauche, guide d'entrevue, gabarit de formation, et plus)¿; 2) des résultats de recherche qui abolissent des mythes concernant les vétérans sur le marché du travail civil¿; et, 3) des ressources additionnelles pour connecter avec les vétérans, des services d'emplois et d'autres outils de ressources humaines compilées en un livret facile à consulter.L'utilité seconde du Guide est de déstigmatiser les vétérans au sein du marché du travail et au-delà, et de préciser pourquoi ils constituent un groupe de talent si critique au Canada. Tirant de la recherche nationale pionnière de Challenge Factory concernant les biais de recrutement et le mode de travail particulier des vétérans, ce Guide explore comment les vétérans sont perçus dans le marché du travail civil¿, pourquoi les employeurs en besoin de talent et les vétérans n'arrivent pas à connecter actuellement, et des leçons apprissent par des programmes d'embauche de vétérans existants.

Veterans form one of Canada's most adaptable, versatile, and hidden talent pools. They're also looking for work by the thousands. This is a vital opportunity that can help employers of all stripes meet their organizational needs in today's challenging and changing world of work.The Canadian Guide to Hiring Veterans is designed to help organizations that have limited human resources and recruitment capacity build strong, resilient teams that include Veterans who are skilled and ready to fill labour or skills shortages. This easy-to-use resource offers: 1) practical, reusable tools for finding, hiring, and retaining Veterans (including a hiring checklist, interview guide, onboarding framework, and more); 2) myth-busting research about Veterans in the civilian workforce; and, 3) additional resources compiled in one convenient place for connecting with Veterans, job services, and other human resources tools.The second important purpose of this Guide is to help destigmatize Veterans both in and outside the workplace, and to clarify exactly why they make such a valuable yet hidden talent pool and recruitment source in Canada. Drawing on Challenge Factory's ground-breaking national research about employer hiring biases and the unique working style of Veterans, this Guide explores perceptions about Veterans in the civilian workforce, why employers in need of talent and Veteran jobseekers are missing each other, and lessons that can be learned from existing Veteran hiring programs.

Sexual addiction and infidelity have reached epidemic proportions. The result is devastation, not just to men’s souls, but also their wives’ hearts. And while betrayed wives have an excruciating road ahead of them, many are learning that God is faithful to heal... and even redeem.Beyond Betrayal interweaves the stories of betrayed wives – including the author’s personal story – with the latest research on sexual addiction and partner trauma. That research includes the largest survey to-date of wives of sex addicts – a study conducted specifically for this book.Wherever a woman is on her journey, Beyond Betrayal offers her clear, realistic guidance on how to move forward into the healing God has for her. The stories recounted are authentic and grace-filled — because we’ve all messed up in our pain and we all struggle with issues such as anger, boundaries and forgiveness. Despite this, God’s arms are wide-open and He is actively working to bring us to new levels of faith, wholeness and maturity: as individuals, couples, families and communities.With a foreword by author, Marsha Means, A Circle of Joy ministries "Lisa Taylor captures the pain a family goes through during betrayal trauma, AND, the hope that they can find in a journey of healing.
