Company recognized for its commitment to
recruiting and promoting veterans and their
spouses
TROY, Mich.,
Nov. 10,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelly has earned the 2024
Military Friendly® Employer and Military
Friendly® Spouse Employer designations. This marks
the ninth year that the workforce solutions provider has been
recognized for its commitment to connecting veterans and their
spouses to work in ways that enrich their lives.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employer
designations were evaluated using both public data sources and
responses from a proprietary survey. Over 1,200 companies
participated in the 2024 survey and 338 received designations.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by
VIQTORY, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business that
connects the military community to civilian employment and
educational and entrepreneurial opportunities, with input from the
Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent
leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings
combined an organization's survey score with an assessment of its
ability to meet thresholds for applicants, new hire retention,
employee turnover, and promotion and advancement of veterans and
military employees.
"Kelly is honored to offer veterans and their spouses a robust
support system for career development and an opportunity to enhance
their professional growth," said Robert
Walker, chair of the Kelly Veteran Affinity Group.
"Employing talent from the military sector is a longstanding
practice at Kelly and a win-win situation as veterans make
excellent candidates for a wide variety of positions in science,
engineering, IT, education, manufacturing, and more."
The Veteran Affinity Group makes it possible for all business
areas of Kelly to access talent from the military community, as the
company has become an employment destination of choice for veterans
and candidates with military backgrounds.
Kelly partners with military bases, workforce centers, and
organizations like the Private Public Partnership, the National
Guard Employment Network, MSEP (Military Spouse Employer
Partnership), and Hiring Our Heroes to connect service members,
military spouses, and veterans with employers. In 2023 so far,
Kelly has hired more than 6,600 veterans to work for clients or as
internal employees.
"Organizations earning the Military Friendly Employers
designation have wholeheartedly invested in comprehensive and
impactful initiatives that bring about positive, life-changing
results for our valued service members, dedicated military spouses,
and esteemed veterans within their ranks. We salute these exemplary
employers who raise the bar and understand that hiring military
personnel is not merely an act of goodwill but a testament to a
standard that truly embodies sound business wisdom. Their steadfast
commitment to integrating military personnel into their workforce
not only reflects their compassion but also underscores their
business acumen," said Kayla Lopez,
senior director of military partnerships at Military
Friendly®.
Kelly will be showcased along with other 2024 Military
Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I.
Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
