Established to sustain a comprehensive community and corporate
support network that connects and coordinates agencies,
organizations, and other resources, Beyond the Yellow Ribbon helps
meet the needs of Minnesota's military veterans, service members,
and families from all military branches. Becoming an official
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon certified business sends a message to
current and prospective employees, and the community, that U. S.
Steel has the support structure to enable successful transitions
into the workplace for service members and those employees affected
by military service. In 2023, 12 percent of new hires at U. S.
Steel were veterans.
“Becoming a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon company illustrates our
continued commitment to our military veterans and their families,”
said Travis Kolari, Head of Operations, Minnesota Ore Operations
Processing for U. S. Steel. “We want all our employees, current and
prospective, to know that we are striving every day to provide the
best possible workplace, one that prioritizes inclusion and
teamwork for every single team member.”
Through its Employee Resource Groups, or ERGs, U. S. Steel has
created workplaces where employees feel included and valued. The
SERVE ERG is dedicated to supporting employees who are either
active reservists or veterans of our nation’s armed forces.
Jason Taliaferro, SERVE ERG President and U. S. Steel Director
of Sales, supported the Minnesota Ore SERVE chapter efforts to earn
the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon distinction. “As a 23-year veteran, I
am extremely thankful for the value U. S. Steel puts on military
service and proud of our company’s dedication to supporting the
veteran community,” said Taliaferro. “U. S. Steel is a place where
service members can thrive and the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon honor
is proof.”
“This ERG provides valuable, ongoing assistance to service
members and their families,” said Mona Dine, Chief Diversity
Officer for U. S. Steel. “Their work on behalf of our service
members, and our commitment to an inclusive workplace, were crucial
in receiving the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon distinction.”
