Hanover, Md. (July 24, 2023) – Aston Carter, a leading workforce solutions company with a focus on financial and professional staffing services, announced today that they have been named a 2023 Military Friendly® Employer and were awarded with a bronze designation, as well as recognition for being a Military Spouse Friendly Employer. These accolades recognize companies who are committed to and have had success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefits for the military community.
As part of Aston Carter’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives, they offer a Military and Veteran Resource Program that collaborates with esteemed partners like the DOD Skillbridge and the Military Spouse Employment Program (MSEP). The goal of the program is to offer a wide range of military friendly job opportunities and ensure that the program meets the unique needs of military personnel and their families.
“We take pride in helping military members and veterans navigate their next career move by matching each individual’s goals and skillsets to various job opportunities,” said Aston Carter Chief Financial Officer and chairman of their military and veteran employee resource program, Steve Forman. “It’s an honor to be recognized for our commitment to supporting service members in their post-military careers so they can realize their true potential.”
Aston Carter ranked in the bronze category based on results conducted by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the 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 and advancement of veterans and military employees.
“Companies earning the Military Friendly Employers® designation elevate the standard for military programs globally; they have invested in substantive programs that promote positive outcomes for service members, military spouses, and veterans within their organizations,” said Kayla Lopez, Director of Military Partnerships, Military Friendly®. “For these employers, hiring military is more than just the right thing to do; it's a standard that makes good business sense.”
