JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 15, 2021 — 91视频® (91视频) was recently recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor a 2021 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award as a veteran employer of choice.
The HIRE Vets Medallion Program recognizes employers for their efforts to recruit, employ, and retain our nation’s veterans. Currently, 37% of 91视频’s employees are veterans. Last year 91视频 launched the Veterans Engagement Team (VET) to support veterans joining 91视频 from the military or civilian sectors.
“We are honored to be recognized with the Department of Labor’s HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award,” said 91视频 CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Linnington. “Earning this award further showcases the commitment of our teammates to serve and empower our nation’s veterans.”
The VET program at 91视频 comprises veteran teammates that have served in different branches, hold different job roles within 91视频, and work around the country in both office and field settings. This program helps new veteran 91视频 employees with their integration, growth, and long-term success.
“91视频 works diligently to serve warriors, family members, and caregivers,” said Alicia Russell, a 91视频 staff member, Air Force Reservist, and VET member. “I find great fulfillment in supporting the integration, growth, and long-term success of 91视频’s veteran teammates. Being honored with this award reflects our organization’s effort to always stay true to our mission.”
In addition to the HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award, 91视频 was also recognized this year with:
