DENVER, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita HealthCare
Partners (NYSE: DVA), a leading independent medical group in
America and leading provider of kidney care services, announced
today that it has been named the best 2016 Military Friendly®
Employer in the health care industry by Victory Media, publisher of
G.I. Jobs® and Military Spouse Magazine. Of the top
100 Military Friendly® employers across industries, DaVita
HealthCare Partners was ranked 34th.
"DaVita HealthCare Partners recognizes the invaluable skills of
those who defend the United States
at home and abroad," said Mike
Blackburn, DaVita HealthCare Partners' military recruiter.
"Hiring those who have gained leadership experience and operational
expertise through military service not only makes good business
sense, but also expresses our gratitude to those who serve and
sacrifice in uniform."
DaVita HealthCare Partners offers a variety of support options
and programming for current and potential veteran and military
teammates. For example, DaVita's dedicated Military Recruiter
reaches out to all military referrals within 24 hours by either
phone or email.. In addition, the Veterans 2 Village program (V2V)
offers formal mentoring for veteran teammates joining DaVita
HealthCare Partners (referred to internally as The Village) to
seamlessly integrate and retain veterans.
For teammates deployed to active military duty, DaVita
HealthCare Partners created Operation Homefront. Operation
Homefront offers differential pay and quarterly subsidy pay, as
well as continuation of benefits and structured reintroduction
support following deployment. Additionally, DaVita HealthCare
Partners keeps deployed military teammates connected with The
Village throughout deployment through encouraging cards, letters,
care packages or email messages.
Companies competed for the elite Military Friendly® Employer
title by completing a data-driven survey. Criteria included a
benchmark score across key programs and policies, such as the
strength of company military recruiting efforts, percentage of new
hires with prior military service, retention programs for veterans,
and company policies on National Guard and Reserve service.
"Companies that have earned the 2016 Military Friendly® Employer
award have exceptionally strong hiring programs and meaningful
careers for transitioning service members and spouses," said
Daniel Nichols, chief product
officer of Victory Media and Navy Reserve veteran. "Our Military
Friendly® Employers are moving the needle beyond answering 'why
hire military' – they are truly aligning their jobs and recruiting
efforts with Military Friendly® educators to translate military
competencies into civilian jobs."
DaVita HealthCare Partners will be showcased along with other
2016 Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I.
Jobs® and the January 2016 issue of
Military Spouse Magazine, as well as on
MilitaryFriendly.com.
