August 13, 2024Kyiv, Ukraine – The Veteran Friendly Company award by Veteran Hub recognizes employers in Ukraine who improve veteran employment culture through supporting veterans and helping them effectively reintegrate into society. To earn this award, companies must:

  • Actively recruit veterans
  • Respect veterans’ experience
  • Adapt their workplace to meet veterans’ needs
  • Support Ukraine  


Reintegrating veterans
into society and helping them adapt to the workplace are top priorities for Intellias. In 2023, the company became one of the first Ukrainian IT firms to develop an internal veteran support policy and launch a comprehensive program tailored to integrating specialists with combat experience. That same year, Intellias and Veteran Hub formalized their collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Cooperation as part of the HR Praktyka project. 

Today, the reintegration of veterans is a key focus for the public sector, the state, businesses, and society as a whole. At Intellias, we recognize that adapting business practices to support the systematic reintegration of veterans is a crucial responsibility. We are committed to creating an inclusive reintegration process by implementing our own initiatives, staying attuned to veterans’ needs, and continuously learning and sharing best practices.

Intellias has implemented several initiatives as part of its veterans’ adaptation policy: 

  • Re-onboarding process: This involves ongoing communication and comprehensive support to ensure a smooth transition for colleagues. 
  • Enhanced medical and psychological care: Veterans at Intellias have access to an expanded program for medical and psychological support, including rehabilitation compensation if needed. 
  • IntelliVeterans Community: Our internal network is designed to facilitate experience sharing among veterans, operating on a veteran for veteran principle. 
  • Military Buddy Program: This social and educational initiative pairs veterans who have already adapted with those beginning the reintegration process to provide guidance and support. 
  • Accessible workspaces: Our offices in Lviv and Kyiv are adapted for people with disabilities and have passed inclusivity audits.
  • Medical and financial assistance of mobilized employees.

 

To enhance awareness of veterans’ needs, Intellias organizes educational events. For instance, in May 2024, the company hosted a training session on the recruiting and adaptation of veterans in IT, which attracted over 200 participants from diverse sectors. 

This is not the first time Intellias has been recognized for their efforts to reintegrate veterans. In 2023, Intellias was included in a list of the 25 best employers for veterans according to Forbes Ukraine. Additionally, the company has donated over 2.5 million USD to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And to honor the memory of colleagues who have died in the war, Intellias offices have launched a Wall of Honor project with the names of fallen heroes.
