Military Spouse Magazine ranked USAA first on its 2009 list of America’s “Most Military Spouse Friendly Employers.”
The magazine selected San Antonio-based USAA as its top ranked employer out of 2,500 companies with at least $1 billion in annual revenues.
“USAA was named No. 1 because of its sustained and effective efforts to recruit military spouses,” says Military Spouse managing editor Josie Cellone. “And once the spouses are hired, USAA has the programs in place to support them and their unique lifestyle.”
Military spouses made up 40 percent of USAA’s new hires with military experience. The company also publishes intranet sites to provide spouses with financial, legal and benefit-related information.
USAA’s Employee Assistance Program provides mental health and well-being services to help employees whose spouses are deployed and the company also assists military spouses with access to child care when a loved one is deployed.
“We know that military spouses sometimes feel corporate America prefers not to hire them because of their transient lifestyle. Well, we’re different,” says USAA CEO Joe Robles. “USAA was founded by military personnel who were experiencing the same discrimination from insurance companies that thought their transient lifestyles made for a bad risk. That kind of corporate thinking was wrong in 1922 and it’s wrong today, because military service members and spouses are great employees as well as great customers.”
The third annual list will appear in the magazine’s October issue. Rounding out the top 10 are The Home Depot, RE/MAX International, West Corp., Health Net Inc., CSC, Army & Air Force Exchange Service, Kelly Services, Adecco and TriWest Healthcare Alliance.
San Antonio-based USAA provides financial planning, insurance, investments and banking products to members of the U.S. military and their families.
