Ameriprise Financial Earns Military Friendly® Employer Designation for Sixth Consecutive Year


For the sixth year in a row, Ameriprise Financial (NYSE: AMP) has been named a 2020 Military Friendly® Employer by VIQTORY, a company that connects the military community to civilian employment and educational opportunities. The annual list recognizes companies that provide the best job prospects and support for veterans and their families.

"At Ameriprise, we value all employees' and advisors' individual experiences, skills and differences," said Kelli Hunter Petruzillo, executive vice president of Human Resources at Ameriprise. "Being named a Military Friendly Employer for the sixth year in a row speaks to the strong initiatives that we have in place to recruit, develop and retain talented people, including veterans. We're proud of our colleagues who've nobly served our country and we're grateful for the unique strengths and perspectives they bring to our workplace."

Organizations earning the Military Friendly Employer designation were evaluated using both public and government data sources as well as survey information from participating employers. Companies are assessed on factors including new hire retention, employee turnover, and the promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.

Ameriprise is among 290 employers that were named to the 2020 Military Friendly Employers list, which will be published in the December issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and can also be found at militaryfriendly.com.

On the heels of this recognition, Ameriprise kicked off its annual Global Diversity and Inclusion Week, which featured various events to drive cultural awareness and promote diversity and inclusion throughout its corporate offices across the gloe. Activities included a presentation on how employees can leverage their authentic power to drive their career forward, a workshop on addressing workplace stereotypes, and a fair spotlighting employee resources groups at Ameriprise.
