According to George Altman, Managing Director of VETS Indexes, “one of the best ways to assist veterans is to connect them with fulfilling and meaningful careers at organizations where they can develop their skills and grow into senior leaders.”

Comcast NBCUniversal has prioritised finding and hiring members of the military community for many years. More than 19,400 veterans, active-duty service members, and military spouses have been hired by the organisation since 2015. These coworkers with military ties are given opportunities for ongoing professional growth as well as a number of special benefits, such as a Veteran-focused Employee Resource Group, a Military Concierge service, Guard and Reserve Leave, Differential Pay, an Active Duty Health Benefits Plan, and Military Spouse Transfer Assistance.

According to Sean Casey, Senior Director of Communications for Military and Veteran Affairs, “We value the considerable leadership experience and distinctive skillset that our military-trained teammates bring to the organisation.” “For this reason, we constantly consider the military talent market to be the best source for locating qualified job prospects.”
