By focusing on ensuring military members are set up for success at Power Home Remodeling, the whole organization benefits.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe focus on not just hiring the person but get them thriving because that creates an ecosystem that will then self perpetuate.\u201d \u2013 Michael Hansen, National Director of Military Affairs, Power Home Remodeling<\/p>\n<h3>2. The entire military family is incorporated into Power Home Remodeling&#8217;s\u00a0inclusive community.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe look at the whole ensemble and the goal is creating an inclusive community. We don&#8217;t really differentiate between vet and spouse, you&#8217;re all part of the same military family for us. It&#8217;s a much more inclusive environment that allows everyone to find mentorship, find success, and find opportunity.\u201d\u2013 Michael Hansen, National Director of Military Affairs, Power Home Remodeling<\/p>\n<h3>3. When transitioning out of the military, don&#8217;t just focus on the job title, but also make sure the company is a cultural fit.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it&#8217;s about the mission: it&#8217;s about being a part of a team, being a part of something bigger than yourself, and how much you&#8217;re challenged both inside and outside of the workplace.\u201d\u2013 Clayton Still, Regional Director of Military Affairs, Power Home Remodeling<\/p>\n<h3>The HOH Sitrep podcast is the official podcast of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation\u2019s Hiring Our Heroes initiative.
