WOOD
DALE, Ill., Nov. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR), a leading
provider of aviation services to commercial and government
operators, MROs, and OEMs, announced today that it has earned the
2025 Military Friendly® Gold Employer designation and
Military Friendly® Spouse Employer designation.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly®
designation were evaluated using both public data sources and
responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,200 companies
participated in the Military Friendly® survey.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined 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 recruitment, new hire retention, employee turnover, and
promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.
"AAR is honored to once again be recognized as a Military
Friendly® Gold Employer and Military
Friendly® Spouse Employer," said John M. Holmes, AAR's Chairman, President and
CEO.
"Members of the military embody AAR's 'Find a way. Every day.'
value and exemplify courage and commitment to a mission. We
are grateful for their service to our country and our
Company."
"Organizations earning the Military Friendly®
Employers designation have wholeheartedly invested in comprehensive
and impactful initiatives that bring about positive, life-changing
results for our valued service members, dedicated military spouses,
and esteemed veterans within their ranks. We salute these exemplary
employers who raise the bar and understand that hiring military
personnel is not merely an act of goodwill but a testament to a
standard that truly embodies sound business wisdom. Their
commitment to integrating military personnel into their workforce
not only reflects their compassion but also underscores their
business acumen," said Kayla Lopez,
Senior Director of Partnerships at Military
Friendly®.
AAR will be showcased among the 2025 Military
Friendly® Employers in the Winter issue of G.I.
Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com,
