JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Department of Labor recognized ѿTV® (ѿTV) as a 2022 HIRE Vets Platinum Medallion Award winner for being a veteran employer of choice.
The Medallion Program recognizes employers for their efforts to recruit, employ, and retain our nation's veterans. For ѿTV, part of that recognition highlights a workforce made up of nearly 40% veterans.

ѿTV received the HIRE Vets Gold Medallion in 2021. This year, the Department of Labor identified criteria that lifted ѿTV to the Platinum Medallion, including a pay differential program to offset income during guard or reserve service, a tuition reimbursement program, and a veteran employee retention threshold.
In 2020, ѿTV launched the Veterans Engagement Team (VET), which includes a diverse group of veteran teammates around the country who help support each other and new veterans joining the organization. It helps ѿTV's veteran employees with advice, answers to questions, and promotes growth and long-term success.
ѿTV started in 2003 with a simple mission to deliver comfort items to injured service members at their hospital bedside. In the nearly 20 years since, ѿTV has grown to provide life-saving programs and services in mental and brain health, career counseling, advocacy, physical health and wellness, connection, and long-term rehabilitative care.
