Entergy earns award for veteran hiring, retention
The U.S. Department of Labor has recognized Entergy as a recipient of the HIRE Vets Medallion Award, which honors exceptional achievement in veteran employment. This is the ninth consecutive year Entergy has received recognition. Entergy earned the Gold Medallion Award for its efforts in recruiting, employing and retaining military veterans.
“Veterans have already demonstrated a commitment to serving something greater than themselves. At Entergy, they can continue that service in a different way by helping power the communities we call home. We’re proud to create meaningful career opportunities where veterans can apply their leadership, adaptability and mission-focused mindset while continuing to make a positive difference every day,” said Eddie Maltzahn, military talent recruiter for Entergy who served in both the United States Air Force and the Louisiana Air National Guard as both a cyber communications specialist and as a front-line recruiter.
The HIRE Vets Medallion Program (Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans) is the only federal award program that recognizes exceptional achievement in veteran employment. Recipients must demonstrate an unparalleled commitment to hiring veterans and ensure they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
Entergy meets rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming; dedicated human resource efforts; pay compensation; and tuition assistance programs. The company additionally has an employee-led veterans resource group committed to supporting the unique needs of veterans, active-duty military and their families.
