Five payers have been named to the 21st annual list of Military Friendly Employers, which measures an organization's commitment, effort and success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefits for the military community.
To make the list, organizations must successfully complete a survey to verify that they meet at least three out of 10 benchmarks. Those range from having a new hire retention rate for veterans above 50% to encouraging veterans and service members to self-identify through means beyond a survey or voluntary self-identification form.
More than 1,500 organizations competed for the designation, which is owned by Viqtory, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Each company on the list is named a top 10, gold, silver or bronze Military Friendly employer. Categories for the Military Friendly Companies survey is over $5 billion annual revenue; $1 billion to $5 billion annual revenue; $500 million to $1 billion annual revenue; government/nonprofit; and less than $500 million.
