A PLACE VETERANS CAN CALL HOME
Averitt Honored With Military Friendly Awards We’re proud to have a military-friendly
The Military Friendly designation is viewed by many as the industry standard for measuring companies’ commitment, effort and success in creating a positive culture for military veterans. The 2024 Military Friendly survey evaluated more than 1,000 companies, and employers were measured across six key categories: Recruiting & Sourcing, Policies & Compliance, Support & Retention, Culture & Commitment, Opportunity & Advancement, and Hiring & Onboarding. Our team’s military representation is impressive, as approximately 15% of associates are veterans. Their service includes the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard. “We are thankful for all those who have served and continue to serve our country, and we want to do all we can to thank them for that service,” says GARY SASSER , who served in the Marine Corps Reserves. “We strongly believe in being a team that service members can call home, providing a place where veterans are valued for their service.” For more information about the Military Friendly survey and program, visit MilitaryFriendly.com .
