Riverside Healthcare Earns First Military Friendly ® Employer Designation
November 12, 2022
Kankakee (Nov 11th, 2022) — Riverside Healthcare announced today that it has earned the 2023 Military Friendly ® Employer designation.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly ® Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over a thousand companies participated in the 2023 Military Friendly ® survey.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly ® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for Applicant, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees.
Riverside was also named a Military Friendly® Spouse Employer, recognizing the organization's commitment to helping military spouse employees have fulfilling careers.
“At the beginning of 2021 we began to earnestly work towards earning the honor of being a designated a Military Friendly Organization,” said Phil Kambic, President and CEO of Riverside Healthcare. “This journey has opened our eyes to the many steps we can take to be an employer of choice for those who serve and have served in the military. We are proud to have earned 2023 Militarily Friendly Employer designation.”
“Companies earning the Military Friendly Employers ® designation elevate the standard for military programs globally; they have invested in substantive programs that promote positive outcomes for service members, military spouses, and veterans within their organizations,” said Kayla Lopez, Director of Military Partnerships, Military Friendly ® . “For these employers, hiring military is more than just the right thing to do; it's a standard that makes good business sense.”
Riverside Healthcare will be showcased in the 2023 Military Friendly ® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs ® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
