BeyondDuty+: Don’t Just Hire Veterans, Help Them Thrive
Veterans Welfare Group has launched BeyondDuty+, a pioneering subscription service designed to help businesses not only employ veterans of the British Armed Forces but support them to thrive in civilian careers.
With an average of five service members medically discharged every day, 48% of those leaving the armed forces with a disability (often hidden), and research showing that 40% of medically discharged veterans are affected by mental health conditions—PTSD being the leading cause—the need for veteran-led workplace support has never been greater.
Why BeyondDuty+?
Veterans bring unique skills such as good time-keeping, hard work, leadership, and resilience into the workplace. Yet many face challenges after leaving service, from navigating civilian workplace culture to managing health and wellbeing issues. BeyondDuty+ bridges this gap, helping employers create environments where veterans feel understood, supported, and able to build sustainable careers.
