November 11 2021 - 7:00AM
XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of freight
transportation services, has been designated as a bronze-level 2022
Military Friendly® Employer in trucking and transportation by
Viqtory, a veteran-owned business that connects military veterans
with opportunities in civilian life.
XPO further announced that the company has become a signatory of
the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve pledge, reinforcing
its commitment to support US employees in meeting their service
obligations as members of the National Guard and Reserve.
LaQuenta Jacobs, chief diversity officer of XPO Logistics, said,
"We’re honored to create opportunities for veterans to build
rewarding careers based on their military training or new areas of
interest. Our message is clear to everyone moving from military
service to civilian life — XPO offers a safe, respectful, inclusive
workplace where you will be valued.”
In May, XPO supported Military Appreciation Month by installing
colorful vinyl wraps on some of its truck fleet. The special trucks
have been on the road all year in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee
and Texas, piloted by XPO drivers who are military veterans and
have driven at least one million miles accident-free.
XPO’s support of military veterans extends to numerous
additional initiatives inside and outside the company,
including:
- An Employee Resource Group devoted to veterans, and
participation in a robust XPO online community on the company’s
Workplace and other social platforms;
- An all-employee Veteran Recruitment Steering Committee and
Veteran Recruiting Community of Practice Group, which help ensure
an effective recruitment strategy;
- Recruiters trained in military culture who connect with
veterans through the company’s partnership with military.com, the
company’s LinkedIn Military Life page and targeted hiring events,
among other channels;
- A dedicated recruitment site for veterans at xpo.jobs/military,
with a tool that matches military experience to employment
opportunities and an application process that encourages
self-identifying as a veteran; and
- Recognition within the XPO community, including a special
Challenge Coin presented to veterans on the team to thank them for
their service.
Military Friendly® Employers are determined by Viqtory annually
based on a combination of public data, company organizational
practices and recommendations by an advisory council of independent
experts.
