Military Times Ranking Lists Spirits Maker
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Brown-Forman (NYSE: BFA) (NYSE: BFB) was named one of the best employers
for veterans by Military Times, the trusted source for
independent news and information for service members and their families.
This is Brown-Forman Corporation’s first year making the “Best for Vets:
Employers” list in the ranking’s eight year history.
“Brown-Forman is honored to be included on this list of best employers
for veterans. It makes us particularly proud to do our part in
attracting and retaining the best and brightest employees, especially
our military veterans who have done so much for all of us,” said Mike
Keyes, Brown-Forman, president for the North America Region and the
executive sponsor of their Veteran's Employee Resource Group. “We work
hard to support America's veterans and their families here at
Brown-Forman and throughout the communities where we live and work.”
Rankings were developed based on the answers that companies provided to
questions about their recruiting of people connected to the military;
company policies related to veterans, reservists and their families; and
the organization's culture.
Military Times invited companies across the U.S. to take part in
the rigorous, more-than-90-question survey. Not every company that
responded made the cut. This is Brown-Forman’s first year completing the
survey.
“The companies on the Military Times Best for Vets list earned
their rankings through determined efforts to recruit and support service
members, veterans and military families. These efforts deserve
recognition from the country and should get the attention of veterans
looking for a new career,” said George Altman, the Military Times
rankings editor.
