Marshfield WI – For the second year in a row Roehl Transport has earned the Military Friendly Employer® designation by Victory Media publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse magazines.
“With over 2500 employees Roehl Transport has long been an attractive place to work for military veterans and active Reserves and we’re pleased to be recognized for our efforts to create military friendly jobs” said Greg Koepel Roehl Transport Vice President of Workforce Development and Administration.
Everett Roehl started Roehl Transport in 1962 shortly after his military service ended. Now military veteran employees of Roehl Transport receive recognition as a part of the Roehl Honor Program™.
The Roehl Honor Program has a two-year Apprenticeship component (approved by both the Department of Labor and the Department of Veterans Affairs). Truck drivers that join Roehl Transport and take part in the Apprenticeship program earn certification as a Heavy Duty Truck Driver. The company hires truck drivers from across the county through its employment website www.Roehl.Jobs.
Roehl completed a lengthy survey that resulted in a benchmark score across key programs and policies such as the strength of company military recruiting efforts the percentage of new hires with prior military service retention programs and company policies on National Guard and Reserve service.
The elite “Military Friendly Employer” title is awarded to companies after a data-driven survey of over 5000 companies with resulting survey data independently tested by Ernst & Young LLP.
Now in its 12th year Military Friendly Employers® media is the premier resource for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment. Each year companies taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Advisory Board consisting of leaders in the military recruitment community. A full list of board members can be found at MilitaryFriendly.com/board.
“The 2015 Military Friendly Employers represent the preeminent tier of companies with strong military recruitment programs and meaningful job opportunities for transitioning service members and spouses” said Sean Collins Vice President for Victory Media and a nine-year Navy veteran. “Our Military Friendly® Employers constitute the group of companies moving the needle and realizing significant benefits by hiring from the military community. This year’s group of companies reported hiring over 155000 service members and spouses over the last 12 months representing a 35% increase over last year and an average of 15% of total new hires.”
