US Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized Janes as one of the recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by the US Department of Labor. The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act (HIRE Vets Act) Medallion Program is the only federal award program that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans.
“A significant number of serving, reserve, and veteran personnel as well as military partners make up the Janes global team, providing essential expertise to our business,” said Sam Gordy, President, Janes US and US Navy veteran “This award is an important recognition of what we’ve done so far, and our ongoing commitment to creating a working environment that offers the best possible support to this talented community.”
Janes supports the armed forces community through several people-focused initiatives, including volunteering activities, supporting armed forces-related charities, and ‘Lunch and Learn’ sessions where the wider team can hear from our armed forces colleagues on how they bring together their military experience and apply it to work, and how their service and their life and work at Janes intersect.
Thomas Sweatman, Vice-President of Sales Janes Americas and Lieutenant Colonel in the US Marine Corps Reserves, said, "For military veterans and reservists working at Janes is a natural fit because of the work, the leadership, and the people who are all mission driven and committed to supporting the interests of national security and the many professionals supporting them."
Janes joins 838 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
