LAS VEGAS, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International has been recognized as a leading employer for
culture, recruitment and policies for veterans, service members and
military families by Military Times. MGM Resorts is the only
hospitality company based in Nevada to be included on the list.
A valuable resource for veterans – and a coveted honor for
employers across the country – the annual Military Times Best for
Vets rankings are the result of a meticulous and thoughtful
months-long evaluation process.
This year, more companies than ever before vied for a spot in
the rankings. Nearly 200 organizations submitted substantially
complete responses to our rigorous, 91-question Best for Vets:
Employers survey. And when the evaluation was done, more companies
than ever earned a spot in the rankings.
A total of 132 employers made the list, comprising 113
for-profit companies, as well as 19 government and nonprofit
organizations.
"The companies on the Military Times Best for Vets list earned
their rankings through determined efforts to recruit and support
service members, veterans and military families," said George Altman, the Military Times editor in
charge of the rankings. "These efforts deserve recognition from the
country and should get the attention of veterans looking for a new
career."
In their tenth year, the Best for Vets: Employers rankings
evaluate companies' culture, veteran recruiting, veteran policies,
and accommodations for members of the National Guard and
reserves.
Military Times invites organizations from across the country to
fill out its survey, tests to ensure the accuracy of responses,
carefully evaluates survey data and includes only the best
companies in its published rankings. The standards are objective,
rigorous, and editorially independent. As a result, transitioning
service members recognize them as the most trusted veteran job
rankings and have come to rely on Best for Vets Employers to aid
their transition to civilian life.
"To come along side those who have bravely fought for our
country and who have made the ultimate sacrifice, while asking for
nothing in return, is the humbling and the utmost honor for MGM
Resorts," said Laura Lee, MGM
Resorts' Senior Vice President of Human Resources. "We will
continue to make veterans and their families a priority as we
partner with the community and look for more opportunities to
optimize our resources."
Participants include employers large and small, new and
well-established, for-profit, nonprofit and government. Those who
make the cut proudly tout their spot on the Best for Vets list – on
billboards, in ballparks and in ads across national
publications.
Other Military Times rankings include Best for Vets: Colleges
and Best for Vets: Places to Live. To learn more and to see the
