CONSHOHOCKEN, PA--(Marketwired - Apr 10, 2013) - Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense operational committee, announced Bill Whitmore, President and CEO of AlliedBarton Security Services reaffirmed his organization's commitment to hiring and supporting Guard and Reserve members. The Statement of Support recommitment ceremony was held at the AlliedBarton corporate headquarters in Conshohocken, PA, on April 9. Whitmore was joined by ESGR National Chair James Rebholz.
The Statement of Support confirms AlliedBarton's pledge to:
- Fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA)
- Ensure managers and supervisors will have the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve
- Appreciate the values, leadership and unique skills service members bring to the workforce and will encourage opportunities to hire Guardsmen, Reservists and Veterans
- Continually recognize and support our country's service members and their families in peace, in crises and in war
"Supportive employers like AlliedBarton are critical to maintaining the readiness and strength of the nation's Guard and Reserve units and allow Guardsmen and Reservists the opportunity to serve our country more effectively and with greater peace of mind," said James Rebholz, ESGR National Chair. "By resigning this Statement of Support, AlliedBarton sends a clear message they stand committed to their military employees and recognize the integrity, global perspective and proven leadership they bring to the workplace."
"Working with the ESGR has given us access to a job pool unlike any other," said Whitmore. "Our military employees have shown adaptability, hard work and dedication to our organization and the security services industry. By reaffirming our support for the ESGR, we look forward to helping put more of America's heroes to work."
In addition to their corporate recommitment, AlliedBarton has challenged its offices across the United States to individually sign Statements of Support with their local ESGR branches. This challenge is an extension of their corporate signing and further supports AlliedBarton's Hire Our Heroes(SM) recruiting and hiring program.
