Second consecutive win - 2022 HIRE Vets Medallion.

We are excited to once again receive the 2022 HIRE Vets Medallion Award, the only federal-level veterans' employment award that recognizes a company or organization's commitment to veteran hiring, retention, and professional development.

Hire Vets Gold Award

The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017 (HIRE Vets Act or the Act), requires the Secretary of Labor to establish a program, by rule, that recognizes employer efforts to recruit, employ, and retain veterans. Employer-applicants meeting criteria established in the rule receive a “HIRE Vets Medallion Award.” There are different awards for large employers (500-plus employees), medium employers (51-499 employees), and small employers (50 or fewer employees).

Cracking the Top 10 of 2022 - Best for Vets: Employer rankings.

The Military Times 2022 Best for Vets: Employer rankings are based on a survey covering company culture, veteran recruitment, military policies and accommodations for Reservist employees. The 2022 survey captured the areas of greatest importance to transitioning service members, veterans, and their families when looking for an employer. Recruitment and employment practices, as well as retention and support programs, were given the most weight and importance in scoring and final rankings.

We’re proud to move up 7 notches to rank #8 out of nearly 200 companies and other organizations that completed the survey. Best for Vets is another example of our commitment to supporting military members and their families because it’s the right thing to do, and because of the dedication and experience these V Teamers bring to our business. We’re honored to have them on our team and proud to be recognized for our commitment to the military community.
