Since 1895, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) has gone where Soldiers, Airmen and their families go to improve the quality of their lives by providing valued goods and services at exclusive military pricing. The Exchange is the 61st-largest retailer in the United States. Its earnings provided $2.1 billion in dividends to support military morale, welfare and recreation programs over the last 10 years.
Exchange Service recognized as 4-star employer by VETS Indexes
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has been named a 4-star employer by VETS Indexes, a firm that promotes employment for Veterans, military spouses and family members.
The Exchange is among 20 organizations that received 4-Star Employer recognition as part of the inaugural 2021 VETS Indexes Employer Awards, which honors commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing and supporting Veterans and others in the military community.
VETS Indexes is an independent provider of custom indexes in the environmental, social and governance fields.
“Veterans and military spouses are force multipliers for the Exchange,” said Osby. “Having heroes in our ranks who understand the military’s mission and unique needs helps the Exchange deliver on its nearly 126-year-old, ‘We Go Where You Go’ promise.”
The VETS Indexes Employer Award recognized the Exchange in the following categories:
· Veteran job candidate recruiting and hiring
· Veteran employee development and retention
· Veteran-inclusive company policies and culture
· Military spouse and family support
The Exchange – the Department of Defense’s largest retailer – is a lifeline for veterans and military spouses looking for jobs. For military families, an Exchange career means benefit retention, retirement opportunity and stability. The Exchange gives spouses first consideration for open positions, and the continuity program lets military spouses transfer to an Exchange when their family has a permanent change of station.
At the Exchange, 45% of the U.S. workforce is made up of veterans, military spouses or dependents, and the Exchange is closing in on its goal of hiring 50,000 veterans and military spouses.
Veterans, military spouses and others who want to work with the Exchange can visit ApplyMyExchange.com for a list of job openings worldwide.
