Exchange Recognized as Top 5 Military-Spouse Friendly Employer

DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has received accolades from Military Spouse magazine as a top military-spouse employer.  The Exchange earned the number four spot in the annual top ten list, moving up two places from 2010.

Military Spouse evaluates companies on the active recruiting of military-spouses, results of the recruiting, policies affecting them as well as the availability of programs to ensure opportunities for advancement.  The application pool consisted of approximately 2,500 companies which had earned a minimum of $1 billion in annual revenue.

With programs like Military-Spouse Preference and Spouse Continuity, which are designed to assist transitioning military spouses, the Exchange continues to shine in the area of military-spouse friendly employment.

“It is an honor to once again be recognized as a top military-spouse friendly employer,” said the Army & Air Force Exchange Service Senior Vice President of HR, James Moore.  “It validates our tireless efforts to develop a lifelong emotional connection with those we serve.”

The 2011 list marks the third year that Military Spouse has selected the Exchange to appear on the Top 10 Military-Spouse Friendly Employers.
