WWC Global, a Pequot Company, was recognized by U.S. Secretary of Labor Martin J. Walsh as one of this year’s recipients of the HIRE Vets Medallion Award. It was presented as part of a ceremony on November 10, 2021, leading up to Veterans Day.
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.
“Our veteran workforce is key to our success as a firm,” said Lauren Weiner, Chief Growth Officer of WWC Global. “They are fiercely dedicated to putting good government into practice, our company’s motto. On this Veterans Day, we celebrate their contributions, the sacrifices they made while in uniform, and their commitment to our country.”
Recipients of the 2021 HIRE Vets Medallion Award meet rigorous employment criteria including veteran hiring and retention percentages, availability of veteran-specific resources, leadership programming, and human resource efforts. Approximately 1,400 employers have earned a HIRE Vets Medallion Award since 2018. More information is available here.
To honor Veterans Day this year, WWC Global will make a financial donation to the USO, a leading charitable organization serving active duty service members, veterans, and military families.
