The 2023 rankings included three new companies \u2014 Fiserv, U.S. Bank and L\u2019Oreal USA \u2014 in the top five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of Fiserv\u2019s veterans programs fall under its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiserv.com\/en\/about-fiserv\/diversity-inclusion\/fiserv-salutes.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cFiserv Salutes\u201d<\/a> initiative, which aims to provide the military-connected community with job opportunities, education resources, and business solutions for companies owned by veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"629\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pic-20-reupdate.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pic-20-reupdate.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pic-20-reupdate.jpg.jpg?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pic-20-reupdate.jpg.jpg?resize=768,403 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pic-20-reupdate.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,537 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fiserv Senior Vice President Vivian Greentree, VPs Jeff Owens and Meg Hendricks, and Shanna Wilson-Martinez, senior campus and military recruiter, attend an event with Chantal Dewall, strategic advisor and operations manager at 50strong, a national, industry-led effort supporting employers and military-affiliated jobseekers.

How are we going to support them if they\u2019re going out on military leave?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comcast NBCUniversal, moving up to No. 2 this year from No. 3 in 2022, believes the skills and experiences possessed by military-connected employees make the business a better company, said Mona Dexter, vice president of military and veteran affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot only is it important to hire because it is good for the business to have a strong and diverse workforce from the military community, we definitely want them to continue to thrive and grow and give them that space to do so with our support,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dexter noted that the firm was founded by World War II veteran Ralph Roberts, meaning support for military employees is intrinsically rooted in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Comcast\u2019s premier programs is its Military Concierge Service initiative, which involves a team of human resources professionals who help service members seamlessly transition to and from active military duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comcast NBCUniversal also prides itself on making up the financial difference if an employee is called to active duty and their military pay is less than their Comcast salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company was also named a 2023 Leading Disability Employer by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nod.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Organization on Disability<\/a>, based on data that tracks several focus areas, including veterans\u2019 inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services \u2014 which jumped to No. 9 from 16th in 2022 \u2014 the agency developed a Military Veteran Peer Support system under retired Army Maj. Monique Ruiz, the organization\u2019s military liaison and human relations specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That system links up members of the military-connected community, including veterans, spouses and military orphans with fellow military personnel in the agency, dubbed \u201cBattle Buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"629\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BFV-Employers_Texas.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BFV-Employers_Texas.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BFV-Employers_Texas.jpg.jpg?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BFV-Employers_Texas.jpg.jpg?resize=768,403 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BFV-Employers_Texas.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,537 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Retired Army 1st Sgt.

(Courtsy of Texas DFPS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency, with about 700 employees with military backgrounds, also offers access to a Military Affinity Group with subgroups in such categories as women veterans, disabled veterans, military spouses and members of the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency also offers an additional eight hours of leave each year to military-connected employees as a thank-you. Ruiz likens this outreach to the support a company might offer employees with different cultural, religious or linguistic backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding a home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans, especially those who might be coming from less military-friendly working environments, appreciate the philosophy, Ruiz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey feel that, okay, now I have someone that understands what I\u2019m going through and then can educate my management and staff on it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Hilton, which rose to No. 10 this year (from 14th in 2022), the company \u2014 founded by World War I veteran Conrad Hilton \u2014 has always believed veterans are the perfect fit for the hotel and hospitality industry, said J.D. Barnes, vice president for workforce innovation and optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe inherently believe that veterans play an important part in our continued growth and, in return, we offer a shared set of values, great workplace flexibility and diverse range of on-property and corporate roles across guest services, finance, engineering and technology, among other teams, that provide them the opportunity to use their unique skills,\u201d Barnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2014, the company has partnered with Hiring Our Heroes, which connects members of the military community with business opportunities, to support its veteran recruiting efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, through Hilton\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.hilton.com\/us\/en\/military-hiring\">\u201dOperation: Opportunity\u201d<\/a> initiative, the company has hired more than 35,000 veterans to date, an employee population the company says is recognized as the largest in the hospitality industry and among the biggest in the U.S. private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among other programs, Hilton also offers a Military Team Member Resource Group for employees who have served in the military, as well as their spouses and children, and other members of the military-connected community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe recognize and value the important and transferable skills of our nation\u2019s veterans and prioritize the offering of robust learning and development opportunities,\u201d Barnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"629\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bracelts.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bracelts.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bracelts.jpg.jpg?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bracelts.jpg.jpg?resize=768,403 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bracelts.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,537 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Parsons Corp. employees wear KIA bracelets in honor of Army Staff Sgt.
