BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Military Times
selected global telecommunications provider, Level 3
Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT), for its "Best for Vets:
Employers" 2015 rankings.
Military Times, consisting of Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force
Times and Marine Corps Times, focuses on culture and policies that
cater to military veterans when conducting and scoring the "Best
for Vets: Employers" survey, a highly respected, nearly 90-question
analysis of a company's efforts to connect with veterans and
provide an environment for success.
Level 3 offers various positions for veterans transitioning into
the civilian workforce. From entry level opportunities to
professional positions, the company looks to partner military
experience with roles that allow the new employee to bring value to
the company immediately. Additionally, the company has a Veteran
Employee Resource Group (VERG), allowing employees to create their
own support group and community. The VERG advises the business on
how to best meet the needs of veteran employees and hosts the Buddy
Program, a key component of the group, which pairs new veteran
employees with seasoned Level 3 veterans to help new employees
transition into civilian life both personally and
professionally.
"We actively seek to hire military talent, recruiting at
military job fairs and bases across the country as we know many
veterans have backgrounds and skills that translate directly to the
work we do," said Laurinda Pang,
chief administrative officer of Level 3. "Beyond that, we also want
to be sure our new veteran hires are joining an organization that
values them, understands where they have been and what they have to
offer. It is why we place such a high value on working with our
internal veteran community and key external stakeholders to make
sure we have the right culture in place."
As with all of the Best for Vets rankings, "Best for Vets:
Employers" 2015 is an editorially independent news project that
evaluates the many factors that make a company a good fit for
military veterans and spouses.
