The industry leader in business services is
again recognized for its efforts to create sustainable economic
benefits to the military community, including its Military Friendly
Supplier Diversity Program recognition
Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) announced today that it has
earned the 2022 Military Friendly® Employer Bronze designation and
the 2022 Military Friendly Supplier Diversity Program
designation.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly Employer designation
were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a
proprietary survey. More than 1,000 companies participated in the
Military Friendly survey.
Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by VIQTORY
with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Counsel of
independent leaders in the higher education and military
recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining
an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the
organization’s ability to meet thresholds for Applicant, New Hire,
Retention, Employee Turnover and Promotion & Advancement of
veterans and military employees.
As a Bronze designation in 2022, Cintas scored within 30% of the
10th best Employer in the “Over $5 Billion” company survey
category. There are 308 companies designed as 2022 Military
Friendly Employers.
“Military-affiliated employee-partners are great fits in our
Cintas culture, and their strengths in key characteristics like
teamwork, work ethic, self-motivation and critical thinking lend
themselves well to success in our business,” said Max Langenkamp,
Cintas Sr. Vice President of Human Resources and Chief Diversity
Officer. “We’ve made a commitment to fostering a diverse workforce,
and to us at Cintas, that means a cultivating a workforce filled
with a broad array of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives –
including military-affiliated employee-partners.
“While we’re pleased to again be recognized as a Military
Friendly Employer, and especially honored to be recognized with the
organization’s Bronze distinction this year, we also recognize that
progress never stops in terms of sustaining a diverse workforce.
We’ll continue to look for ways to integrate military-affiliated
employee-partners and programs into our business,” Langenkamp
said.
“Companies earning the Military Friendly Employers designation
create and elevate the standard for military programs across the
globe, they have invested in substantive programs to recruit,
retain and advance the veterans and service members within their
organizations,” Said Kayla Lopez, Director of Military
Partnerships, Military Friendly. “To them, hiring veterans and
servicemembers is more than just the right thing to do, it makes
good business sense.”
Along with the other 2022 Military Friendly Employers, Cintas
will be featured in the December issues of G.I. Jobs® magazine and
on MilitaryFriendly.com.
In addition to being recognized as a Military Friendly Employer,
Cintas also earned recognition on 2022 The Military Friendly
Supplier Diversity list. This designation identifies 183 companies
that demonstrate their commitment to the veteran community by the
extent to which they include veteran-owned businesses in their
supplier diversity programs.
The Military Friendly Supplier Diversity Program list is created
each year based on extensive research using public data sources for
more than 8,800 employers nationwide, and responses to the
proprietary, data-driven Military Friendly Companies survey from
participating companies.
“Supplier Diversity is a key aspect of our overall Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion program at Cintas, so we’re also honored to be
recognized for our commitment to supporting vetrepreneurs,”
Langenkamp added. “In our last fiscal year, diverse suppliers were
central to our ability to meet our customers’ needs for
COVID-19-related personal protection equipment like masks, gloves
and isolation gowns.”
In Cintas’ fiscal year 2021, the company spent a record $387.7
million with certified diverse suppliers, which represented 16.9%
of its total U.S. spend with suppliers. Military-affiliated
certified diverse suppliers are among those who received business
from Cintas as part of its supplier diversity program.
The Military Friendly Supplier Diversity Program survey
questions, methodology, criteria, and weighting were developed with
the assistance of an independent research firm. Ernst & Young,
a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction, and advisory
services, independently evaluated the scoring methodology used for
the Military Friendly Supplier Diversity Program list using the
criteria set forth by VIQTORY. The services performed by EY are
limited to advisory procedures and do not provide assurance over
the scoring methodology. The survey is administered for free and is
open to all employers that wish to participate.
