We are proud of each of our Employee Resource Groups (ERG), supporting our employees and creating communities.
Our Military Veterans ERG is building momentum, supporting veterans and their familes in our workforce. It supplies education and opportunities, answers questions from all team members, and fosters a greater understanding of the value veterans provide to corporations.
The members of the ERG recently appointed a new chairperson, Rob Payne, to guide the priorities of the group. “Our primary objective is to broaden awareness of our group and to create an environment of inclusion, where we embrace and honor Veterans from all countries,” said Rob.
Rob is a Veteran of the United States Air Force, where he served on active duty for 21 years. His professional background in the Air Force was in HR Operations, Employee Relations, Learning & Development, and Human Resources Business Partnering roles. He joined the Cloud Software Group Human Resources Business Partner team (via Citrix) in September of 2021.
It is important to bring veteran team members together with non-veterans and foster a conversation and mutual understanding. Rob says, “I’m very passionate about advocating for military Veterans transitioning from the service and creating mentorship programs to provide career advice and support.”
The Cloud Software Group Military Veterans ERG isn’t designed just for United States Veterans, or only people who had the opportunity to serve their country. “It aims to foster an environment where we can learn about how other countries honor their Veterans and supply tangible stories to employees who are curious about what life was like as a Veteran. Everyone is welcome to join our group.” said Rob.
If you are passionate about cloud software and contributing to communities with diverse lived experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
