Companion Home Care Wins 2019 HIRE Vets Gold Award from US Department of Labor
The HIRE Vets Medallion Award is the only federal-level veterans’ employment award that recognizes a company or organization’s commitment to veteran hiring, retention, and professional development.
The awards are given annually by the United States Department of Labor pursuant to The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017 (HIRE Vets Act of 2017).
The selection criteria for the award include the percentage of employees who are veterans, the percentage of new hires in the previous year who are veterans, and the implementation of company programs and policies that encourage the hiring, retention, and success of veteran employees.
Companion Home Care Inc, a Roanoke, VA-based provider of home health care services for seniors, recently received the 2019 HIRE Vets Gold Award.
“We’re extremely excited about the award. Our company has always hired veterans. I find that veterans come with skills that the average person lacks, such as thinking on your feet, working well as part of a team, and performing under pressure,” said Companion Home Care owner Michelle Belton, a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), Certified Alzheimer Educator (CAEd), and Certified Montessori Dementia Care Professional (CMDCP).
“We welcome all veterans in the Roanoke Valley to apply with our company,” added Belton.
Companion Home Care will officially accept their award at the 2019 HIRE Vets Medallion Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC on November 9, 2019.
