Veterans make for better company on the Best for Vets: Employers list

Ensuring that support for the military-connected community is at the heart of a company’s human resources approach is a hallmark of the Military Times’ Best for Vets: Employers rankings.

In 2023, the highest-ranking companies and agencies dedicated employees to veteran recruitment efforts and provided ongoing advocacy and assistance to veterans and their spouses, qualities that stood out among their peers.

At financial services firm Fiserv, which jumped from No. 9 last year to earn the top ranking this year, a commitment to veterans starts across the C-suite and includes not just recruiting and hiring but support systems all through a veteran’s employment, including for those employees called to active duty, said Vice President Meg Hendricks, head of military and veteran affairs.

“Our goals are of providing the military community with career opportunities, educational resources and business solutions,” said Hendricks, an Army veteran.
