Windsor Marketing Group (WMG) of Suffield, Connecticut, a producer of in-store marketing solutions, launched on Veterans Day a new hiring initiative called “Salute” with a goal of hiring at least a dozen military veterans over the next 12 months.
WMG CEO Kevin Armata says there are many reasons for launching this program.
“Veterans sacrifice some of the best years of their lives in service to our country and protecting our freedoms, yet it is no secret that many have had trouble finding employment as they make the transition back to the civilian workforce,” Armata said. “This is a way for us to do our part in helping make that transition easier. In addition, because of their training, military veterans have a unique sense of discipline, organization, teamwork and personal initiative that make them incredibly valuable employees.”
Armata says the hiring initiative will not focus on any specific positions or expertise, but will be “across the board” in terms of the job skills being sought.
“We pride ourselves in doing things right in business,” Armata said. “And that includes showing our support of those who have served on the front lines to make sure that we are all able to continue pursuing the American dream. Now it is their turn to pursue that dream.”
Since 1976, WMG has grown to more than 185 associates serving more than 3,000 clients.
