Active Duty vs Reserves
While Reserve units are combat-trained and can be deployed overseas like Active Duty Service Members, they are just as likely to serve in their home communities

So What Happens When They Return from Deployment?
Unlike Active Duty, Reservists transition back to civilian world, including their civilian workplaces

Issues of Reintegration into the Workplace for the Employer

Looking Forward…
• Some companies are aligning resources with the needs of the service members/veterans
• Wall Street jobs are a challenge as the skills needed are interpersonal and cognitive
• America’s Heroes at Work and Military OneSource are two of many resources assisting returning service members and their employers
• Bottom line: There is very little information regarding the success of work reintegration – more needs to be done
