Health Net, Inc. today announced its participation in Los
Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s “10,000 Strong” veterans hiring
initiative, which was officially launched on June 9, 2014.
“Our commitment to those who serve and their families does not
end when they leave the service,” said Steve Tough, president of
Government Programs for Health Net. “We remain focused on and
committed to the well-being and integration of our veterans, and
that includes gainful employment. Health Net has a long history and
sound record of hiring veterans, and we value the characteristics
veterans have cultivated through their service – leadership,
integrity and a strong sense of mission.”
Health Net’s partnership with 10,000 Strong, which includes
participation in multiple veteran-focused job fairs and employment
workshops, aligns with its existing partnerships with:
- Joining Forces, the White House’s
comprehensive national initiative mobilizing all sectors of society
to ensure veterans, service members and military families have the
opportunities, resources and support they have earned; and
- Hero Health Hire, a coalition of health
care companies dedicated to offering meaningful employment
opportunities to the nation’s disabled veterans and providing the
support they need to succeed.
Additionally, in 2012 Health Net launched its own Veteran and
Military Spouse Employment initiative, a progressive plan to
recruit, hire, train and retain veterans and military spouses in
Health Net’s workforce.
“Health Net is one of the biggest Fortune 500 companies
headquartered in the city of Los Angeles,” said Tough. “We are
proud to call Los Angeles ‘home,’ and we are excited to participate
in Mayor Garcetti’s worthy initiative.”
Mayor Garcetti’s 10,000 Strong initiative complements Health
Net’s strategic initiative to increase its hiring of veterans and
spouses 10 percent by 2015, promote and participate in veteran
recruitment opportunities, and continue to develop relationships
with veteran and military organizations to foster employment
opportunities.
