Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology-enabled services provider, has been recognized as a 5-Star Employer in the 2025 VETS Indexes Employer Awards, one of the program’s highest distinctions. Alight was recognized for the organization’s strong commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing and supporting veterans and the military-connected community.
As one of the most comprehensive evaluations of veteran employers, the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program analyzes employers’ policies, practices and outcomes across veteran job candidate recruiting and hiring, employee development and retention, veteran-inclusive policies and culture, support for members of the National Guard and Reserves and military spouse/family support.
“The veteran community brings transferable skills, work ethic and dedication to Alight,” said Rob Sturrus, Chief Client Officer at Alight. “Veterans and military spouses are an integral part of Alight’s success, and it is a part of our mission to uplift and support this community through trainings and programs so they can be successful in their roles at Alight and beyond.”
Alight’s dedication to the military community includes a vast array of initiatives designed to ease the transition of moving into a civilian role while also making use of the unique skillset that veterans offer. These initiatives include:
A comprehensive hiring program that partners with military communities to proactively hire and support veterans and military family members in the U.S. and overseas. A military skills translation tool, which can be used by recruiters and candidates who need to translate military skills for civilian use.
Team VALOR, a colleague-led community of veterans and military spouses at Alight, designed to provide an understanding space for day-to-day challenges and successes.
“Alight has demonstrated exceptional support for veterans and the military-connected community, earning the organization one of the most prestigious awards possible in the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program,” said George Altman, president of VETS Indexes. “Even as more organizations than ever before are recognizing the uniquely valuable skills that veterans bring as employees, the efforts of Alight to recruit, retain, develop and support those who served, as well as their families, stand out from the pack. Alight is among the very best veteran employers, and its program can serve as a model for others.”
