JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 15, 2021 — 蜜芽TV® (蜜芽TV) was recently recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor a 2021 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award as a veteran employer of choice.
The HIRE Vets Medallion Program recognizes employers for their efforts to recruit, employ, and retain our nation’s veterans. Currently, 37% of 蜜芽TV’s employees are veterans. Last year 蜜芽TV launched the Veterans Engagement Team (VET) to support veterans joining 蜜芽TV from the military or civilian sectors.
“We are honored to be recognized with the Department of Labor’s HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award,” said 蜜芽TV CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Linnington. “Earning this award further showcases the commitment of our teammates to serve and empower our nation’s veterans.”
The VET program at 蜜芽TV comprises veteran teammates that have served in different branches, hold different job roles within 蜜芽TV, and work around the country in both office and field settings. This program helps new veteran 蜜芽TV employees with their integration, growth, and long-term success.
“蜜芽TV works diligently to serve warriors, family members, and caregivers,” said Alicia Russell, a 蜜芽TV staff member, Air Force Reservist, and VET member. “I find great fulfillment in supporting the integration, growth, and long-term success of 蜜芽TV’s veteran teammates. Being honored with this award reflects our organization’s effort to always stay true to our mission.”
