Kelly® Earns 2022 Military Friendly® Employer Designation
11 Novembre 2021 - 6:56PM
Kelly® announced today that it has earned the 2022 Military
Friendly® Employer and Military Friendly® Spouse Employer
designations. This marks the seventh 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. More than a thousand
companies participated in the 2022 survey and 308 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
additional input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of
independent leaders in the higher education and 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 of veterans and military employees.
“I joined Kelly three years ago because I saw how
the company helped veterans after they return from service,” said
Jeffery Arview, a former Army Sergeant who served in Iraq and now
works as a Kelly talent advisor. “For many veterans it can be
difficult to return to civilian life and some struggle to access
meaningful careers. Military Friendly® Employers like Kelly
understand that veterans are among the most dedicated and reliable
employees.”
Arview manages more than 300 Kelly temporary
employees at a client production facility in Tennessee. He quickly
moved into the leadership position after joining as a temporary
worker himself three years ago. On his journey from the military to
Kelly, Arview faced and overcame multiple barriers to employment,
including addiction to prescription drugs, homelessness and a
criminal record. He tells his story in a compelling video that
highlights Kelly’s efforts to knock down such barriers, remove
outdated hiring practices and provide greater access to work.
“I was disqualified from several jobs and I knew it
was going to be really tough to find work,” Arview said. “At times
you want to give up, but there are many employers out there who not
only value the leadership skills veterans possess but also believe
in providing second chances to those who have a blemish on their
record.”
Kelly has deployed an in-house recruiting program
that aligns military experience and traits from U.S. veterans,
current reservists and military spouses with job opportunities.
More than 8,500 are employed by Kelly directly or placed on
assignment with Kelly clients every year. Kelly also provides tools
and resources to help veterans successfully transition to civilian
jobs in fields including education, engineering, accounting,
science, IT, manufacturing and logistics.
“Companies earning the Military Friendly Employers®
designation create and elevate the standard for military programs
across the globe. They have invested in substantive programs to
recruit, retain and advance the veterans and service members within
their organizations,” said Kayla Lopez, director of military
partnerships at Military Friendly®. “To them, hiring veterans and
servicemembers is more than just the right thing to do, it makes
good business sense.”
Kelly will be showcased along with other 2022
Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs®
magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
