In celebration of Veterans Day, we are thrilled to announce that SupplyCore has been honored with two prestigious awards—the HIRE Vets Medallion Award and the Military Friendly Employer designation. These awards underscore our unwavering commitment to hiring and supporting veterans. At SupplyCore, we recognize the invaluable skills and perspectives veterans bring to our organization, and we take pride in being a part of their transition from military to civilian life.
The Impact of Veterans in the Workforce
Veterans inherently possess leadership, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure—qualities that cannot be taught but are ingrained in those who have served. At SupplyCore, we recognize the vital role these qualities play in enhancing our organization. “We value the distinctive strengths and perspectives veterans bring to our team, and their firsthand experience and commitment to supporting military missions make us a stronger company,” said Andre Balka, SupplyCore Chief of Staff and VP – Organizational Development. “By hiring veterans, we don’t just honor their service – we elevate our entire organization.”
Their understanding of military operations not only strengthens our ability to support defense missions but also provides valuable insights into the needs of our military and government customers. This knowledge empowers us to deliver mission-critical supplies and services with precision and reliability. By leveraging the expertise of our veteran associates, we ensure our solutions are both innovative and effective, meeting the highest standards of quality and service.
Introducing the HIRE Vets Medallion Award
Established by the U.S. Department of Labor, the HIRE Vets Medallion Award recognizes employers who excel in recruiting, employing, and retaining veterans. This federal-level award is a testament to our dedication to veteran employment. Earned by only 839 companies nationwide, the award requires meeting rigorous criteria, including veteran hiring and retention rates, availability of veteran-specific resources, and leadership programs tailored for veterans. We are proud to have received the gold award, showcasing our commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for veterans within our organization.
What It Means to Be a Military Friendly Employer
The Military Friendly Employer designation is another accolade that highlights our commitment to veterans. Awarded by VIQTORY, this designation evaluates organizations based on their efforts to create sustainable benefits for the military community. With over 2,800 organizations competing annually, achieving this recognition is a point of pride for us. It demonstrates our dedication to fostering an inclusive workplace where veterans, military spouses, and their families can thrive. We are proud to announce that this is the third time we have won this award.
Our Approach to Veteran Hiring and Support
At SupplyCore, we don’t just talk about supporting veterans—we take action. Our approach includes targeted recruitment efforts, comprehensive onboarding programs, and continuous support for professional growth. Our dedication extends beyond employment, as we actively engage with veteran-owned businesses in our supply chain, contributing to a robust ecosystem that supports veterans at every level. We believe in fostering a community where veterans feel supported and valued. Through partnerships with veteran organizations and participation in community service initiatives, we actively contribute to causes that matter to veterans and their families. This sense of community is integral to our organizational culture and is reflected in our efforts to create a workplace where everyone feels welcome and appreciated.
