Military Times also took into account whether companies have received recognition from the U.S. Department of Defense Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) organization. Last month the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Minnesota Committee for ESGR selected U.S. Bank as one of three Minnesota employers to receive the prestigious Pro Patria Award for its support of the Guard and Reserve. The annual ESGR awards ceremony will be held May 20.
U.S. Bank honors and supports members of the U.S. military through its Proud to Serve program. Now in its fifth year, the program focuses on hiring and supporting veterans, employees who are veterans and their families. In addition to the nearly 600 veterans hired in 2012, U.S. Bank is committed to hiring hundreds more in 2013.
The company enhanced its HR policies for veterans last year, including offering employees up to two weeks paid leave to cover time they would otherwise take off unpaid, per state or federal law, in connection with a family member’s military service. Depending on state laws, the time can be taken not only with the deployment of a child, parent or spouse, but may be available to extended family as well.
