Companies on the list offer programs and services of greatest importance to service members, veterans and their families when looking for an employer. Recruitment and employment practices, as well as retention and support programs, were given the most weight in the ranking of recognized companies.
“Oshkosh is committed to a People First culture and we’re proud to support the military community. This recognition validates our efforts to recruit, coach, mentor and retain veterans,” said Emma M. McTague, senior vice president and chief human resources officer. “We’re honored to have more than 1,100 talented veteran, guard, reserve and military spouse team members already working at our company.”
