For corporate leaders focused on brand equity, CSR reporting, and supply chain integrity, the Military Friendly® Employers designation is more than a trophy, it’s a verifiable proof point of organizational commitment. Aligning with the GI Jobs December Flagship Issue transforms an annual recognition into a core, year-round business strategy. This strategic alignment allows companies to turn recognition into reach.
The National Benchmark for Verified Veteran Support
The GI Jobs December Military Friendly® Employers Issue is the flagship edition that stands as a national tradition. Since 2003, this issue has set the national benchmark for how companies honor, hire, and support those who serve. The designation process is part of a movement that connects recognition, opportunity, and impact in one trusted, national spotlight.
When this issue drops, it’s an event. Organizations that have earned the Military Friendly® designation stand up and proclaim, “We’re not just checking a box. We’re leading by example.” This positioning demonstrates industry leadership and commitment to corporate values.
Verified Excellence: MFE Metrics that Drive Business Value
Credibility is paramount in the B2B space, and for employers, being featured in this issue is about credibility, not publicity. The Military Friendly® Employers List at the center of the December issue is a verified, data-driven recognition of organizations that are setting the standard nationwide.
The evaluation process is rigorous and measures tangible outcomes critical to modern business performance. These measured outcomes include key B2B metrics and commitment indicators:
• Hiring rates
• Retention performance
• Advancement opportunities

It’s not about what companies claim, it’s about what they actually do and how it impacts lives and careers. Every organization featured has proven they walk the talk.
