Worthington Industries Named to Victory Media's 2016 Military Friendly(R) Employers List
(firmenpresse) - COLUMBUS, OH -- (Marketwired) -- 12/01/15 -- Worthington Industries (NYSE: WOR) announced today that it has earned the designation by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs® and Military Spouse. Companies competed for the elite Military Friendly® Employer title by completing a data-driven survey, with data independently tested by EY (Ernst & Young) based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media and its Advisory Board. Criteria for the survey included a benchmark score across key programs and policies, such as the strength of company military recruiting efforts, percentage of new hires with prior military service, retention programs for veterans, and company policies on National Guard and Reserve service.
Worthington is committed to hiring military talent, knowing first-hand that recruiting from the military community is not only the "right thing to do," but it makes good business sense. Worthington Industries will be showcased along with other 2016 Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine, as well as on .
