Applications Now Open for the 2025 VETS Indexes Employer Awards to Honor Veteran-Friendly Organizations

2025 VETS Indexes Employer Awards Applications Open

New York, December 4, 2024 — VETS Indexes is thrilled to announce the launch of applications for the 2025 VETS Indexes Employer Awards. This awards program is designed to recognize companies that demonstrate a strong commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing, and supporting veteran employees and those connected to the military.

As a firm dedicated to championing veteran employment, VETS Indexes has established itself as a key player in assessing and promoting organizations that are proactive in including veterans in their workforce. The award not only serves to honor these groups but also highlights the importance of utilizing the unique skills veterans bring to the table. With the goal of enhancing employment opportunities for veterans, VETS Indexes emphasizes the long-term benefits of having a veteran-inclusive workforce, both for the corporation and for the community.

The application process for the Employer Awards is open to all organizations, regardless of their size or sector, and participation is completely free. All organizations wishing to showcase their veteran employment practices can apply through the VETS Indexes website. Those that achieve high scores in the evaluation process will receive recognition with an award, a press release, and the right to display the VETS Indexes Employer Awards seal, highlighting their leadership in veteran employment initiatives.

Further emphasizing the importance of recognition, George Altman, president of VETS Indexes, stated, "We have been amazed by the increasing interest in the Employer Awards. Top veteran employers from across the nation appreciate the objective and transparent evaluation process and are eager to participate. If your organization has not engaged with us before, now is the ideal time to take part!"

Not only does participation in the Employer Awards come with the possibility of being recognized, but each organization submitting a survey will also receive a complimentary ticket to the Employing U.S. Vets Conference scheduled for April 10 in New York City. This event will take place after the award recipients are announced, creating an excellent opportunity for organizations to share insights and best practices on veteran employment.

Another significant aspect of participating in this program is the Veteran Employment Benchmarking Service. This innovative service allows organizations to gain access to unique insights derived from comprehensive data on veteran employment. With a focus on assessing strengths and areas for improvement, it presents an in-depth overview as well as detailed feedback and comparative data with other participants in the survey.

Organizations are evaluated based on five essential categories: recruiting and hiring veterans, developing and retaining veteran employees, fostering veteran-inclusive policies and culture, supporting National Guard and Reserve members, and providing support for military families. The rigorous evaluation process ensures that the awards represent true excellence in veteran employment practices.

The deadline for submitting applications for the 2025 VETS Indexes Employer Awards is February 14, 2025. Employers can rest assured that information shared during the application process will remain confidential and will not be published.

As a pioneering entity in the area of veteran employment, VETS Indexes continues to lead efforts to showcase the positive impact of hiring veterans. The organization strives to create awareness of the skills and value veterans can offer, and remains committed to allocating a portion of its profits towards supporting veterans and their families.
