Windstream was ranked No. 8 on the list. Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 200 companies participated in the Military Friendly® Employers portion of the 2019 Military Friendly® Companies survey. Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and 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 the Applicant, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion and Advancement of veterans and military employees. “Windstream is proud to receive this Top-10 Military Friendly® Employer designation for the second consecutive year because we are strongly committed to helping veterans transition to the civilian workforce," said Jack Brooks, chief human resource officer at Windstream. "Veterans embody values we share, including accountability, collaboration, agility and respect," Brooks said. "They have the leadership, commitment to task, and technical skills that we need at Windstream." Windstream is committed to our veterans and their spouses with retired Command Sergeant Major Angel Ramos leading the effort.
