G4S receives recognition as a 2020 Military Friendly Employer by VIQTORY

G4S was named a 2020 Military Friendly Employer and Military Spouse Friendly Employer by VIQTORY, an organisation that connects members of the military with employers across the United States. G4S has been named a Military Friendly Employer yearly since 2014.

This prestigious list of employers recognises organisations that demonstrate a commitment, effort and success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefits for members of the military. “We are proud to employ U.S. military veterans, who make up 23 percent of our workforce, and are grateful to once again be recognised as a Military Friendly Employer,” said Drew Levine, President of G4S Secure Solutions (USA).

“We respect the commitment and dedication that active duty military and veterans take to protect our country and they deserve the opportunity to have a successful and rewarding civilian career. We work hard to provide them the resources they need to translate their military skills into civilian skills.”

G4S was ranked eighth among the 290 employers who were recognised. Military Friendly rated G4S as having exceeded the standard in all six categories used to rate organisations: hiring & onboarding; opportunity & advancement; culture & commitment; support & retention; policies & compliance; and recruiting & sourcing.
