Hanover, Md. (November 14, 2023) – Actalent, a leading engineering and sciences services and talent solutions company, today announced that it has been named a 2024 Military Friendly® Employer. This marks the second consecutive year Actalent has received the designation, which is informed by survey data collected from service-disabled, veteran-owned company Viqtory. The distinction is awarded to a select group of organizations for their commitments, efforts and successes in creating sustainable and meaningful opportunities for the military community.

To that end, Actalent provides a wide range of resources for military employees, including competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, counseling services, family support, and employee resource groups (ERGs).
"The military community within Actalent plays a meaningful role in contributing to the rich and diverse culture we've built. I’m proud to see our efforts to support the military community earn this important recognition for the second year in a row," said Chad Gieg, Regional Vice President and Executive Sponsor of the Military and First Responders ERG at Actalent. "Looking beyond our four walls, this designation also emphasizes our commitment to our partners within the aerospace and defense sectors, as well as the military government agencies with whom we work."
This year, Actalent exceeded Viqtory's benchmark standards in the following categories:
- Recruiting and sourcing
- Policies and compliance
- Support and retention
- Culture and commitment
- Opportunity and advancement
- Hiring and onboarding
