Abstract: This special issue focuses on research on recruiting and employing military veterans and Human Resource Management (HRM) interventions to support Service leavers in successfully transitioning from active service to civilian work. The volume includes contributions that give insight into the experiences of diverse groups of veterans in making career changes. They also consider how employers can enable veterans to secure work that matches their skills, make the cultural adjustment from military to civilian life, and assimilate into a new work environment. In this introduction, we discuss the main themes of the special issue, ideas for future research, and practical outcomes for employers.
