November 10 2023 - 9:00AM
XPO (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of freight transportation
in North America, announced today that it is strengthening its
ongoing commitment to military hiring by entering into a strategic
partnership with the U.S. Army Partnership for Your Success (PaYS)
program. The partnership offers regular and Reserve soldiers
job interviews and potential employment after completing their
service in the Army. XPO and the Army will hold a signing
ceremony for this commitment on November 15th.
"With more than 2,000 veterans and active
service members on our team, XPO is a proud, military-friendly
workplace," said Mario Harik, CEO of XPO. "We place exceptional
value on the outstanding skill set and dedication that
military-trained employees bring to our company, and we are honored
to be joining forces with the PaYS program to expand our commitment
to creating post-service opportunities for our nation’s
soldiers.”
The PaYS program helps soldiers prepare for
post-military careers, connecting them with employers who value the
skills, discipline and work ethic that their military service
brings to a business.
“We would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to
XPO as a new PaYS partner. The US Army is a reliable recruitment
source for businesses with an endless pool of qualified talent, and
we’re pleased that XPO is committed to helping soldiers find
employment after military service,” said Antonio Johnson, PaYS
Program Manager.
XPO has a proud history of being a
military-friendly employer. Earlier in 2023, the company was named
a VETS Indexes 4 Star Employer, recognizing it as one of the
best employers nationwide for veterans, members of the National
Guard and Reserves, military spouses and longer-term
veterans.
To facilitate a seamless transition into the
civilian workforce, XPO offers valuable resources through an
all-employee Veteran Steering Committee. For exciting career
