Navient announced it has been named a Military Friendly Employer. This is the third consecutive year that Navient has been recognized for its commitment to veteran employment by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse magazines.
“We provide military veterans meaningful career opportunities because it makes our company better,” said Mike Maier, senior vice president and U.S. Navy veteran. “With their experience and leadership ability, veterans offer a strong work ethic and a commitment to service that our employees and customers value.”
Navient provides veterans with employment opportunities, offers mentoring and development, and raises funds and awareness for veterans.
According to a survey, 70 percent of Navient employees have either served in the military themselves or have an immediate family member who has served. Navient employees have seen combat in Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan and served in many other overseas locations.
Companies earning the Military Friendly Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. The list rates the performance of companies across six categories: recruiting and sourcing; hiring and onboarding; career opportunity and advancement; culture and commitment; military support and retention; and military employee policies and compliance.
