Press Release: Kearney & Company Named a 2023 VETS Indexes 3-Star Employer
Alexandria, Va. – April 13, 2023 – Kearney & Company, a premier audit, consulting and technology firm focused on the government, has been named a VETS Indexes 3-Star Employer in the 2023 VETS Indexes Employer Awards. The award recognizes the firm’s commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing and supporting veterans and the military-connected community.
“Kearney & Company has demonstrated a commitment to recruiting veteran and military-connected employees, and then helping them grow and develop into leaders,” said George Altman, Managing Director of VETS Indexes.
This year, a record number of 239 organizations participated in the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, more than double the 118 participants in 2022. Not every responding organization made the cut — only those that demonstrated a strong commitment to veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military spouses. Participating organizations included companies large and small, government agencies and departments, nonprofit groups, colleges and universities.
“As more and more employers recognize the cutting-edge technical skills and soft skills veterans bring to the workplace, the race to attract military-connected talent gets increasingly competitive. The number of organizations participating in the 2023 VETS Indexes Employer Awards more than doubled since last year — but even in this highly competitive environment, Kearney & Company distinguished itself among veteran employers and should be commended,” Altman said.
More than 17 percent of Kearney team members identify themselves as veterans, current National Guard members or military spouses. All Kearney team members, including veterans, have access to a robust learning and development program that offers bonuses for obtaining professional certifications, educational assistance, mentoring programs, and numerous other tools and resources to help guide their careers. Additionally, the firm regularly supports veteran-focused charitable causes.
“Kearney is committed to maintaining a work environment that feels like home for all our team members, who have a broad range of life experiences,” said Erin Ogburn, Chief People Officer of Kearney. “We are proud that so many of those who have served in the armed forces have chosen to continue that legacy of service at Kearney, supporting government clients and their missions.”
