TYSONS, Va.– PenFed Credit Union has been designated as the number two 2023 Military Friendly Spouse Employer and number nine Military Friendly Employer in the non-profit category by MilitaryFriendly.com.
The Military Friendly Company survey investigates and identifies the organizations whose commitment to serving the military and veteran community is comprehensive in scope and meaningful in terms of actual outcomes and impact.
"PenFed is honored to be recognized as a leading employer for the military community," said PenFed President/CEO and PenFed Foundation CEO James Schenck. "Since our founding in 1935, we have prioritized the national defense community and we will continue to recruit and hire veterans and military spouses."
As part of an ongoing commitment to hiring and supporting the military community, PenFed operates a Military Employment Program focused on every phase of the employment lifecycle for all members of the military community, including veterans, military and surviving spouses, wounded warriors and their caregivers, Reservists and National Guardsmen. 13% of PenFed’s employees have an affiliation with the military community as a veteran, family member or are serving in the National Guard or Reserves.
Schenck and 75% of PenFed’s board are veterans themselves.
In addition to spending 10% of its recruiting budget on hiring and retaining veterans and military spouses, PenFed partners with military employment organizations to enhance military employment efforts and provide career readiness training to military jobseekers.
