G.I. Jobs magazine has named Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. a Top 100 Military Friendly Employer for the third year in a row.
“At Goodyear, we recognize the value that veterans bring to the workplace and we’re proud to employ many men and women who’ve bravely served our country,” said Gary VanderLind, Goodyear North America’s vice president of human resources. “It’s a great honor to have our efforts recognized by G.I. Jobs and to be named a Military Friendly Employer for a third straight year.”
Goodyear was recognized based on the results of data-driven survey on veteran-related programs and policies, such as the strength of military recruiting efforts, percentage of new hires with military service, retention programs for veterans, and policies on National Guard and Reserve service.
Additionally, Goodyear was recognized for recently surpassing its 2012 commitment to hire 1,000 veterans by 2015. The company has since pledged to hire an additional 1,000 veterans by August 2015, it said.
