As a veteran-owned business, Extract Labs is deeply committed to hiring and supporting fellow veterans and active military personnel. From offering veterans discounts to being able to work side-by-side with them, we are honored to assist those who have selflessly served our country. In celebration of National Hire a Veteran Day, we interviewed two of our esteemed team members, Sean from our wholesale team and Corey from our formulations team, to learn more about their military experiences and how these have shaped their careers at Extract Labs.
Benefits of Hiring Veterans
Veterans are an exceptional addition to any workforce due to their rigorous training and strong team mindset. They often possess outstanding leadership and teamwork skills, honed by leading teams in high-pressure environments. Corey emphasizes this, stating that “[veterans] already have the mentality and desire to get any job done and [get the job done] right the first time.” Sean echoes this sentiment, noting that hiring veterans brings some of the most loyal, hardworking individuals into the workforce. He values professionalism, integrity, and loyalty, skills he gained from his military service. Sean’s guiding principle is to “always be a professional, never hide your mistakes, and give loyalty to those who have confidence in you.”
Veteran Impact on Company Culture
Those from military backgrounds often foster a sense of unity, promoting a collaborative work environment. Their diverse experiences contribute to a more inclusive workplace, enhancing team dynamics and overall morale. Sean and Corey have found many positives in working for a fellow veteran, noting the comprehensive support structure and a sense of camaraderie that’s rare in today’s job market.
Corey mentions that his military background has prepared him to learn new processes, seek continuous improvement, and handle various equipment with care, adding that this preparedness is crucial in his role at Extract Labs. Sean also highlights the rewarding experience of working with fellow veterans, emphasizing the nostalgia and the natural instinct of protecting and supporting one another. He says, “Now, being out of the military, that protection just turns into support. Support your fellow veterans as they continue to lead outside of their military service.”
Connecting with Veterans
Staying connected to fellow service members can be profoundly rewarding and impactful for veterans. Expressing gratitude to the men and women who have served in the military is challenging, as words often fall short of conveying the appreciation they truly deserve. Working alongside fellow veterans can be immensely fulfilling, fostering a unique sense of camaraderie and mutual support. Sean shares, “Social media is convenient, but everyone deserves a phone call once in a while. Call your brothers and sisters; you never know how much they might need that call.”
In honoring our military personnel, we offer a 60% discount to veterans, ensuring they can access hemp products that can significantly improve their well-being. We believe in extending the same dedication and service our veterans have shown to our country. It is our privilege to support them and make a positive difference in their lives.
Extract Labs is proud to honor and support those who have served our country. By hiring veterans like Sean and Corey, we benefit from their exceptional skills, dedication, and camaraderie, which enrich our company culture and enhance our team’s performance. We reaffirm our commitment to providing opportunities and support for veterans, ensuring they can thrive in their post-military careers. We are privileged to work alongside these remarkable individuals and to contribute to their continued success and well-being.
