Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ: WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics provider, proudly announces its designation as a VETS
Indexes 4 Star Employer in the 2023 VETS Indexes Employer Awards
for the third consecutive year. The award recognizes Werner’s
commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing and
supporting veterans and the military-connected community.
“We have deep respect and honor for our nation’s heroes and
strive to provide them with the best career opportunities and
resources,” said Werner’s Chairman, President and CEO Derek
Leathers. “Approximately 20 percent of our workforce at Werner are
veterans and this recognition from VETS Indexes reaffirms our
ongoing efforts to serve those who have served.”
This year, a record number of 239 organizations participated in
the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, more than double the 118
participants in 2022. Participating organizations included
companies large and small, government agencies and departments,
nonprofit groups, colleges, and universities. Werner was the only
major carrier recognized at the 4 Star Employer level or higher the
past three years.
“Werner Enterprises stands out from the pack as one of the best
employers nationwide for veterans, members of the National Guard
and Reserves and military spouses,” said George Altman, managing
director of VETS Indexes. “The number of organizations
participating in the 2023 VETS Indexes Employer Awards more than
doubled since last year – but even in this highly competitive
environment, Werner distinguished itself as a leader among veteran
employers and should be commended.”

About VETS Indexes
VETS Indexes is a leading voice on veteran employment issues,
overseeing the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, hosting the
twice-yearly Employing U.S. Vets Conference, unearthing unique and
unprecedented data on veteran employment through the Veteran
Employment Benchmarking Service, and developing custom indexes,
linked to financial products, that track the performance of the
publicly traded companies that have established themselves as the
best employers for veterans. The VETSX and VTRNIX indexes were
created on the premise that the companies that make the best use of
the highly talented, yet under-valued, talent pool that veterans
represent will ultimately see a benefit to their bottom lines. The
performance of the indexes has emphatically confirmed that thesis,
outpacing the S&P 500. As the world’s first resource for U.S.
veteran themed indexes, our mission is to provide innovative
solutions that recognize the value created by the mission-critical
mindset, unique skills, and specialized training that veterans
bring to the workplace. Our mission also includes a commitment to
always donate a significant portion (target of 20% and no less than
5%) of our net profits to charitable organizations that support
veterans and their families. “SERVING THOSE WHO SERVED” - VETS
Indexes provides a social and governance impact via those public
companies that support the hiring and professional development of
our military veterans.
