PepsiCo and JLL among latest companies to join
the Mission as hiring surpasses 267,522 U.S. Military Veterans
The 100,000 Jobs Mission announced today that its coalition of
private companies has grown to over 200 member companies that have
collectively hired more than 267,522 U.S. military Veterans through
June.
“We are excited that so many well respected businesses have
joined us on this mission to collectively hire 300,000 Veterans,”
said Ross Brown, director of Military and Veterans Affairs for
JPMorgan Chase, a founding member of the coalition. “Our fellow
coalition members represent both the best of their business sectors
and a commitment to hiring Veterans and their spouses.” The 100,000
Jobs Mission was founded in 2011 by 11 companies including JPMorgan
Chase & Co. that pledged to hire at least 100,000 Veterans by
2020. The coalition reports its hiring results quarterly and shares
best practices for hiring and retaining Veterans in their
organizations. Many of these can be found on jobsmission.com.
Since the coalition’s establishment, membership has grown to 206
companies that represent nearly every industry in the U.S. economy,
including its newest members: commercial real estate services firm
JLL and global food and beverage giant PepsiCo.
“I am proud to be part of JLL’s commitment to hiring veterans
and our membership in the 100,000 Jobs Mission. Companies do
themselves a favor by hiring veterans because they are team
players, trustworthy, dependable, loyal and hard workers. JLL
has a culture that values these qualities and we look forward to
welcoming more vets into our organization,” said JLL board member
and Americas executive chairman Roger Staubach, who also served in
the U.S. Navy.
“PepsiCo has a long history of hiring veterans, and we are
passionate about helping them identify with a job and a supportive
company that they can be proud of after their military
career,” said Sheila Stygar, PepsiCo vice president of Talent
Acquisition. “Veterans bring unique experiences and leadership
skills that are highly valued by our organization to help us win as
a business. We are grateful for their service to our country
and our company and we are proud to have them as part of the
PepsiCo team.”
The 100,000 Jobs Mission continues to seek like-minded large
employers to join the commitment to hiring Veterans and military
spouses.
