Hey and welcome to #TheOpenMike
On today’s episode, I'm excited to be covering all things people and the importance of having a dedicated focus around Human Resources Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Today's influencer guest is Melissa Af the Chief Diversity Officer at KMJJ Enterprise based out of Alabama.
KMJJ is a Veteran owned and operated business that offers Talent Management solutions to all businesses, focussing to help Military Veterans transition into the workplace as well as non-veterans that struggle to find career opportunities.
In truth whilst I personally don’t have a military background, the reality is when I work with businesses who do employ veterans, I am seriously impressed with their dedication and output and in many cases, the difference is amazing on how they approach the demands of business and entrepreneurial life.
This podcast is pretty timely as we are just celebrating the 75th Anniversary of D-DAY on the 06th June 2019.
I watched the newsreels this week whilst in London on the sacrifices and the total dedication these servicemen and women had to not only D-Day, but their country and their colleagues.
Theres no surprise this value is transferred into the workplace that employers can tap into..
Welcome to the show Melissa - I appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule to speak with me and the audience today and sharing your expertise and I believe you are based in Williamsburg, Virginia?
