G6 Hospitality Launches Enterprise-Wide Initiative To Support Recruitment, Hiring Of U.S. Veterans

DALLAS, Jan. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- G6 Hospitality, known for its iconic economy lodging brands Motel 6 and Studio 6, announced a new company-wide initiative to support the hiring of U.S. military veterans and their spouses. The mission of the new program, Operation Next Step, is to better integrate veterans into the G6 Hospitality workforce, with an immediate goal of hiring up to 250 veterans across the enterprise in 2015.

Operation Next Step focuses on creating a dedicated organizational infrastructure that supports veterans, including effective hiring tools and career tracking platforms for men and women who have completed military service. Within the next few months, the program will launch several new recruiting tools and employee resources. This initiative supports the pledge of The Blackstone Group to help veterans embark on successful careers after serving our country.

"We recognize the unique skills and character traits that veterans can bring into our organization, and we welcome their understanding of quality service, experience building strong teams, and passion for service," said Jim Amorosia, President and Chief Executive Officer of G6 Hospitality.

The launch of Operation Next Step is consistent with G6 Hospitality's longstanding commitment to supporting veterans and their families. In 2014, G.I. Jobs, a private career and education magazine and website for service members reentering civilian life, recognized G6 Hospitality's progress, and named Motel 6 / Studio 6 one of the top Military Friendly Employers. The company was also recognized as a top Military Friendly Spouse Employer by Military Spouse magazine. Additionally, the organization has entered into a yearlong partnership with the Armed Services YMCA — an organization that supports junior enlisted military and their families through various programs.
