LAS VEGAS, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International (NYSE: MGM) is recognized as a leading employer for
culture, recruitment and policies for veterans, service members and
military families by Military Times. MGM Resorts jumped up 40
places since 2019 and is the only hospitality company based in
Nevada to be featured on the
list.
This year, almost 200 organizations submitted responses to the
Best for Vets: Employers survey that fielded from July to September
this year, and 161 employers made the list. This editorially
independent program produces a highly respected analysis of a
company's efforts to recruit, retain, and support current and
former service members, military spouses, and military
caregivers.
"As the largest employer in the state of Nevada, at MGM Resorts we are intensely
focused on providing a broad range of resources and jobs for
service members and veterans," said Jyoti
Chopra, Chief People, Inclusion and Sustainability Officer
at MGM Resorts International. "We will continue to leverage our
capabilities and provide career opportunities for those who have
given the ultimate sacrifice to protect the United States of America and serve our
nation. These service members and veterans within our communities
are an important part of our workforce and add incredible
contributions to our company and services for our guests."
In its 12th year, Military Times Best for Vets: Employers
rankings are based on the results of a voluntary survey that
covered the policies and practices that make companies an
attractive place to work for current employees and future job
seekers within the military community.
"Military Times continues to set the standard for employer
rankings for transitioning service members and veterans. Although
often imitated, there is no other list that comes close to Best for
Vets: Employers," says Mort
Greenberg, SVP of media solutions at Military Times. "We
stand by the rigor and soundness of this survey, which spotlights
companies' employment programs that help transitioning service
members excel in their post-military careers."
This year, Military Times collaborated with Fors Marsh Group
(FMG) to update the research methodology and analysis from previous
years to provide a streamlined, user-friendly survey experience for
participants. All survey changes were made based on subject matter
expert reviews of the survey and rigorous qualitative research,
including focus groups and in-depth interviews with Military Times
subscribers. FMG designed, deployed, analyzed, and wrote the report
for this year's survey.
The updated survey captured the areas of greatest importance to
transitioning service members, veterans, and their families when
looking for an employer. Recruitment and employment practices, as
well as retention and support programs, were given the most weight
and importance in scoring and final rankings.
