Business Wire
American Water (NYSE: AWK), the nation’s largest publicly traded
water and wastewater utility company, announced today that it has
again been recognized among the top 100 Best for Vets Employers by
Military Times. The selection focused on corporate culture and
policies that best leverage the traits and skills embodied by
veterans and servicemen and women to enable them to be successful
in civilian roles.
“Being recognized as a ‘Best for Vets Employer’ by Military
Times is a reflection of the high performance of our military and
veteran workforce, and the unique talents and strengths these men
and women bring to our customers and communities,” said American
Water President and CEO Susan Story. “They’ve focused on providing
high quality water, fire protection, and sanitation services to
over 14 million American Water customers, including those living
and working on our military bases across the country. We value
their lifelong commitment to safety, service to others and
exceptional performance, and are proud to work alongside them each
and every day.”
For ten years the rankings have evaluated company culture,
veteran recruiting, veteran policies, and accommodations for
members of the National Guard and reserves. The standards are
objective, rigorous, and editorially independent. As a result,
transitioning service members utilize the list of Best for Vets
Employers to aid their transition to civilian life.
American Water is committed to hiring military talent, knowing
first-hand that recruiting veterans and military spouses is not
only the “right thing to do,” but the right thing for business.
“The companies on the Military Times Best for Vets list earned
their rankings through determined efforts to recruit and support
service members, veterans and military families,” said George
Altman, the Military Times editor in charge of the rankings. “These
efforts deserve recognition from the country and should get the
attention of veterans looking for a new career.”
The final rankings were the result of a nearly 100-question
survey, followed by tests to ensure the accuracy of responses and a
careful evaluation of survey data.
