August 22 2019 - 9:03AM
(NASDAQ: YRCW) – Reddaway, an industry-leading less-than-truckload
(LTL) service provider in the western United States and Canada, is
proud to announce it has once again been chosen as a Military
Friendly® Employer by VIQTORY. Founded in 2001, VIQTORY is a
service-disabled, veteran-owned small business connecting the
military community to civilian employment, educational and
entrepreneurial opportunities through its G.I. Jobs® and Military
Friendly® brands.
VIQTORY has released its 2020 Military Friendly® Employers list,
continuing its mission to provide veterans and their spouses with
the finest choices for employment opportunities. Certification in
this list has come to set the standard for organizations providing
the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. Over 8,800
employers nationwide were evaluated using both public and
government data sources. Of those, less than 300 employers were
chosen.
Being certified as a Military Friendly® Employer affirms
Reddaway’s ongoing efforts to recruit, hire, and train veterans and
help them translate their military competencies into civilian
careers--truly representing what it is to be “Better for Veterans”
and “Better for America.”
“We are grateful to all our veterans. Here at Reddaway, we are
committed to supporting veterans in their search for employment
opportunities in the transportation industry,” said Bob Stone,
President of Reddaway. “We know veterans bring the skills,
attitude, and team spirit that helps them become successful
Reddaway employees. Our Military Friendly® Employer
designation recognizes our past efforts to recruit those who have
served in the military, as well as our efforts to continue in the
future to welcome new veterans to our team.”
To be named a Military Friendly® Employer, companies must meet
or exceed the standards in at least three out of four critical
areas of commitment to the military community, including:
- Recruiting, hiring, and training veterans
- Recruiting, hiring, and training military spouses
- Partnering with and supporting Veteran-Owned Businesses
- Commitment to military consumer protections and having a
positive brand reputation in the military community
Reddaway not only has focused efforts to find and recruit
veterans, but it also supports veterans and their families through
cooperative activities with veteran-support organizations, company
events recognizing veterans, and apparel available to Reddaway
employees identifying them as past members of the military.
The 2020 Military Friendly® Employers list will be published in
the December issue of G.I. Jobs magazine which is distributed to
TAPS centers globally to reach the veteran community. The list can
also be found at www.militaryfriendly.com.
