As we recognize and honor Veterans Day, we celebrate the veterans who continue to make a difference in our communities and across Republic Services.
Earlier this year, Republic Services hosted National Hire a Veteran Day events for the third year in a row. In July, 18 events took place simultaneously across the country, resulting in 36 job offers for veteran candidates.
Why it matters
For many service members, transitioning to civilian life comes with challenges. These events help veterans connect with meaningful careers, explore opportunities and see how their skills can translate to success at Republic.
The events were supported by Hire a Veteran workshops for participating Business Units and a strong partnership with our V.A.L.O.R. Business Resource Group.
Veterans bring leadership, teamwork and a commitment to service that align with our Human Centered culture. The events also support our Road to 5K Veterans initiative, a milestone we have already surpassed.
By opening our doors, sharing experiences and welcoming veterans into our facilities, we showed what it means to be Committed to Serve and Better Together.
Bottom line
This Veterans Day, we thank all who have served and recognize the important role veterans play in helping our company and communities thrive.
