Fuse is proud to announce that we have earned the 2023 Military Friendly® Employer designation, with a “Bronze” rank. Military Friendly Employer companies are committed to creating sustainable economic benefits to the military community, including providing meaningful career paths, community outreach, brand enthusiasm, and enduring partnerships with and for military veterans. Recognizing exceptional military/veteran programs, the Bronze distinction is bestowed on employers who scored within 30% of the 10th best Employer in their category; in this case, the under $500 million category.
“Fuse was founded by military veterans with the noble cause of bringing the benefits of commercial human-centered design processes to military systems engineering,” said Fuse CEO and former naval aviator, Sumner Lee. “Our veteran employees have always been an important part of our culture. We are thrilled to be recognized for our commitment to the military community and our success in building a military-friendly team and company.”
More than 40% of the Fuse workforce have served in the military and 16% of our employees are disabled veterans. Military experience and skillsets are tremendous assets here, as we design and build mission-critical systems that support the warfighter.
“Companies earning the Military Friendly Employers® designation elevate the standard for military programs globally; they have invested in substantive programs that promote positive outcomes for service members, military spouses and veterans within their organizations,” said Kayla Lopez, Director of Military Partnerships, Military Friendly®. “For these employers, hiring military is more than just the right thing to do; it’s a standard that makes good business sense.”
More than 1,000 companies participated in the 2023 Military Friendly® survey. Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by VIQTORY, with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings were based on survey responses, public data sources and an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for Applicant, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees.
Fuse will be showcased as a 2023 Military Friendly® Employer in the December issue of G.I. Jobs®magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
