G4S Secure Solutions Named as a Top Veteran-Friendly Company

JUPITER, Fla., Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- G4S, America's leading security company, has been named by U.S. Veterans Magazine as a 2014 Top Veteran-Friendly Company. It is the fourth time this year that G4S has been recognized for its focus on veterans' employment.

Earlier, G4S was named a G.I. Jobs Top 100 Military-Friendly Employer and a CivilianJobs.com Most Valuable Employer (MVE) for Military. The U.S. Department of Defense has also presented G4S with its Patriot award.

Twenty-five percent of G4S employees are veterans, working in all sections of the company from entry level roles to senior management.

"Today's announcement goes beyond reporting employment numbers," said Drew Levine, President of G4S, North America. "It speaks to our focus on providing the best-trained security officers and creating a culture of employees who are highly dedicated to our clients' safety and security."

In 2013, G4S achieved its goal of hiring more than 6,000 returning veterans and their family members, as part of its ongoing commitment to the White House's 'Joining Forces' Program.

"G4S is proud our employment programs are built upon the superior skills and training of our veterans," said Geoff Gerks, G4S Senior Vice President Corporate Human Resources.  "But hiring veterans is only part of the picture. Strong employee retention and promotion programs mean our customers benefit from consistent G4S service."

G4S also supports veterans who need flexible employment opportunities because they are part of the National Guard or Military Reserves. Earlier this year, G4S was recognized by the Department of Defense and its Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Program.
