At Smithfield Foods, we provide a veteran-specific Employee Business Resource Group (Smithfield Salutes) to make the transition from military to civilian life a seamless one by providing employees with mentors, a network of like-minded colleagues and opportunities to connect and develop as an organization employee. Additionally, our Helping Our Heroes program encompasses Smithfield’s three veteran-related focus areas: prioritizing veteran employment and career development; helping power veteran-owned businesses; and strengthening the community and family support systems that veterans rely on; programming is executed in all three areas regularly.
