AUSTIN, Minn., Aug. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hormel Foods
Corporation (NYSE: HRL) today announced it has been ranked No. 43
on Military Times' Best for Vets: Employers 2020 list. This is the
eighth consecutive year the company has made the list, which
evaluates many factors that make a company or organization a good
fit for military veterans.
"Hormel Foods is a great place to work, and veterans are an
important part of our team," said Janet
Hogan, senior vice president of human resources at Hormel
Foods. "We are proud of our efforts to recruit and support veterans
and service members, and to be recognized as a Best for Vets
Employer for the eighth year in a row."
The Military Times Best for Vets: Employers rankings were based
on a voluntary survey that included more than 100 questions seeking
detailed information based on the individual company's policies and
practices related to veteran recruitment and retention, support for
translation of military skills to civilian credentials, support for
military spouse employment and accommodations for members of the
National Guard and reserves.
"Best for Vets is editorially independent and focused on culture
and policies that cater to military veterans," says Andrew Tilghman, executive editor at Military
Times. "It has become the most trusted resource for transitioning
veterans and a coveted honor for employers across the
country."
According to Military Times, the criteria for evaluating the
companies is based on years of research, interviews with veterans,
input from veterans' advocates and human resources professionals.
Survey content was developed through data collected from a series
of semi-structured interviews conducted with subject matter experts
across the military-connected employment space including
representatives working in HR and military-connected hiring
programs, nonprofit leaders at several veteran service
organizations, and veterans and family members. Rankings are based
off of total survey scores.
Hormel Foods actively recruits veterans and service members each
year. In addition, the company has an employee resource group that
provides assistance to current and former military members and
their families as they integrate into the company's culture, while
providing a platform for continued camaraderie throughout their
career.
