Riverside Re-designated Military Friendly Employer for 2024

Riverside Healthcare announced today that it has earned the 2024 Military Friendly® Employer designation.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly ® Employer designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey.

Over 1,200 companies participated in the 2024 Military Friendly® survey.

“We are proud to announce that Riverside has been re-designated as a 2024 Military Friendly® Employer,” said Riverside President and CEO Phil Kambic. “This re-designation reflects our continued commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for those who have served our nation.”

VIQTORY determined methodology, criteria, and weightings with input from the Military Friendly ® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for Applicant, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees.

“Organizations earning the Military Friendly Employers designation have wholeheartedly invested in comprehensive and impactful initiatives that bring about positive, life-changing results for our valued service members, dedicated military spouses, and esteemed veterans within their ranks,” said Kayla Lopez, Senior Director of Military Partnerships at Military Friendly®, “We salute these employers.”

Riverside Healthcare will be showcased in the 2024 Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs ® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
