Virginia Values Veterans

Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Initiative:  FY13 Goals
(July 2012 – June 2013)

1.  Re-capitalizing the Virginia Workforce and energize the Virginia economy as we emerge from the recession. V3 is an economic investment initiative to drive down unemployment costs and increasing income tax revenue by putting Veterans to work and keeping them employed.

2.  Recognizing America’s Veterans and transitioning National Guardsmen and Reservists as an amazing resource because Virginia companies are now looking for world class employees.

3.  Educate employers of all sizes to navigate and leverage the systems available so they can access these proven Americans and meet their organization’s hiring and retention needs.  V3’s primary focus is on Virginia’s companies with less than 1,000 employees. These companies collectively represent the overwhelming majority of the total hiring demand, and connecting them with the primary hiring and retention requirement, Initial Entry Teammates, is one of the goals. V3 will also be looking for enterprise companies to serve as models for their supply chain vendors and other smaller companies (teaching companies how to fish, not fishing for companies)

4.  The Department of Veterans Services (DVS) is committed to kick starting the V3 Certification Process by teaching companies how to hire Vets and then develop incentives for Virginia companies to recruit and retain Vets.

5.  Advocate for YOU! – Virginia employers who want to hire and retain Veterans. You own the core data element when you offer one Vet a job and retain them for at least one year. YOU must get the government systems to work for YOU. This will facilitate your job of identifying, recruiting and retaining these great Americans.

6.  Conduct seven (7) Conferences and certify fifty (50) V3 companies.

Youville: The Benefits Learning Center

A great way for employees to get a jump start on their pre-enrollment benefits education is with the Benefits Learning Center. It gives them valuable information on different types of insurance coverage. It also offers information on financial protection, insurance terms, changing needs at different life stages, and how to save for retirement, plus answers to frequently asked benefits questions.

Financial Planning: More isn’t always better. When it comes to understanding insurance, there are really just five pieces of information you should know: What it is, what it covers, what it costs, what it will pay out and what it may exclude. All of these can be explored in this section.

Youville: Youville is an interactive web tool used to educate and personalize the experience of benefits counseling and enrollment for employees. This interactive online tool offers an entertaining way for employees to explore their unique benefits needs and tailor a specific package. After logging onto the Benefits Learning Center, employees enter Youville, their own personal benefits world named in their honor. The tool asks a short series of questions about age, marital status and family history of illness and uses the answers to create recommendations for types of insurance coverage to consider. Employees can print a summary of the recommendations, adjusting them and adding notes if needed, and bring the document to their 1-to-1 session with you. During the enrollment, you can use the information provided in Youville to help determine the key needs of each employee.

Benefit 360: Encourages benefits understanding from every angle – health, dental, vision, financial protection or retirement. Benefits 360 offers employees more information and also prompts them to ask intelligent questions about their current coverage and core offerings by their employer.
