It\u2019s also a good time to check in with our Veterans Employee Resource Group to get their thoughts on the holiday, and the many ways RingCentral\u2019s veterans help strengthen our culture and community.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h2 h3\"><b>In transition<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Account Executive Jordan Smith is one of the leaders of RingCentral&#8217;s Veterans ERG, and he thinks it\u2019s a critical resource for vets making the transition to civilian life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the military, you have a tight-knit group of people you&#8217;re around pretty much every single day. You form really important and impactful friendships with people who become lifelong friends. So when you get out of the military, you lose that support system, as well as that sense of purpose where every day you know you&#8217;re making an impact. The Veterans ERG connects us to a group of people who really understand that, and just being able to talk about shared experiences with other vets helps us reacquire that sense of purpose.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h2 h3\"><b>Veteran leadership<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of December 2020, the Bureau of Labor Statistics <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2020\/12\/04\/veterans-unemployment-up-in-november-as-national-jobless-rate-falls\/#:~:text=The%20unemployment%20rate%20among%20all,who%20are%20able%20to%20work.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">estimated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 552,000 veterans are currently active in the job market. Smith thinks that\u2019s a resource RingCentral should continue to tap into.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt starts with leadership, and the ability to be a self-starter. If you give a veteran a mission, they&#8217;re going to figure out the best way to complete it, fast. It\u2019s been a big deal with COVID \u00a0 in the sense that we&#8217;re not in an office. It\u2019s up to the individual to get out of bed in the morning, get the morning routine going and be productive. Veterans come equipped with a level of personal responsibility and adaptability that would be valuable at any time, in any company, but it\u2019s been particularly helpful here, during COVID.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>Permission to celebrate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memorial Day is more than a Toyotathon, a mattress sale or the traditional beginning of summer. It\u2019s a somber day of remembrance that many dedicate to service. According to Smith, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have a good time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFirst off, we should remind ourselves of the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans\u2019 Day.\u00a0 Veterans\u2019 Day honors all who have served. Memorial Day honors those who died serving their country. It\u2019s a day to honor not only the people who\u2019ve made the ultimate sacrifice, but their families as well. That being said, there\u2019s no single, monolithic position all veterans hold about it. I think people in the Veterans ERG just want the rest of the community to remind themselves of what Memorial Day means, but at the same time, these are lives worth <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">celebrating<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So if people want to enjoy the day, that\u2019s fine. Just take a moment to realize what the day is really about\u2026and celebrate it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>Recruiting office<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can RingCentral recruit more veterans? Smith thinks the company should depend more on the ones who are already here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe could help the company\u2019s talent acquisition efforts because I think veterans tend to trust other veterans. It\u2019s just easier for veterans to talk to somebody who shares that experience. If a veteran-specific team were helping the talent acquisition team, we\u2019d be able to tell the world \u201cHey, we&#8217;ve got an active community of veterans here doing, all kinds of different work, and helping one another.\u201d That\u2019s a message I think the community would be open to and excited about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>Air support<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral\u2019s veterans work hard to take care of their fellow soldiers, sailors, air crew and Marines. RingCentral management coordinates with them in ways that deliver maximum impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSome companies just write a check and call it a day,\u201d says Smith. \u201cI was really impressed that management came to us and asked &#8211; \u201cWhere would our donations make the biggest impact?\u201d That\u2019s the kind of support every ERG wants to get.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Memorial Day, we\u2019ll all spare a thought for the troops who never made it home. We\u2019ll also relax, recharge, and rededicate ourselves to supporting the veterans community both inside and outside RingCentral. Their dedication, commitment and skills are a critical element of our culture, and one that reminds us all of what it means to be #strongertogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Travis Manion Foundation empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations.
