According to Business Wire, Cintas Corporation was awarded the 2021 Military Friendly® and Military Spouse Friendly® Employer designations.
Institutions that receive these prestigious designations are evaluated based on both public and government data sources, and proprietary surveys. Hundreds of companies participated in these surveys.
“We’re honored to be recognized as a Military Friendly and Military Friendly Spouse Employer for 15th consecutive year,” said Max Langenkamp, Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Human Resources, Cintas. “Hiring military personnel continues to be one of our top priorities because, from the time they enter service, military personnel are taught to perform under pressure, to exhibit characteristics such as discipline, integrity, and teamwork. They also understand and experience working within diverse groups to achieve common objectives. These attributes closely mirror our company’s culture.”
Companies that earn this designation or even participate to earn it invests a lot of money into various programs that hire, retain, or advance veterans within the organization as it is good for their business.
“Our military hiring program dates back many years to our founder, Dick Farmer, who himself was a U.S. Marine Veteran,” added Langenkamp. “Dick understood that men and women who have served were a great source of talent and leadership, and today, our military program is as valuable as it was decades ago when it first began. We also have expanded our efforts to provide post-hire development, a mentorship program, and an internal employee-partner resource group called Valor to help support our men and women who have served and their family members.”
Along with other 2021 Military Friendly® Employers, Cintas will be featured in the December issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com. Cintas has also participated in the 2020 DAV 5K, a nonprofit charity that provides lifetime support for veterans.
