USVM FALL 2025 VETERAN-FRIENDLY RECOGNITION LISTS
At U.S. Veterans Magazine, we believe that leadership and innovation are the foundations of success for any business or organization. Tracking trends, staying aware of forward-thinking policies, and being recognized on top leadership lists are essential for businesses, institutions, and nonprofits to grow and perform. According to one study from Ethisphere, ethical companies outperform their competition by 7.1%. Another study from i-Sight found that those on key recognition lists and rankings made more than double the profits of comparable companies.
Our Veteran-Friendly lists seek to recognize the organizations that have gone above and beyond to create workplaces where talent can be recruited, developed, and retained.
We recognize them for their commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture and values. “When you embrace creativity and innovation, you unlock unparalleled potential,” declares Mona Lisa Faris, our visionary president and founder for more than 32 years. “This powerful combination doesn’t just boost profitability; it elevates your business to new heights, both in internal dynamics and in reputation.”
