Cognizant has received the Military Friendly® Employer designation by MilitaryFriendly.com. Owned and operated by Victory Media, a veteran-owned business, Military Friendly measures an organization’s commitment, effort, and success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefits for the military community. This is the third year that Cognizant has received the designation.

First published in 2003, the list of Military Friendly Employers is provided to service members and their families, helping them discover the best post-military career opportunities available. Companies and organizations earning the Military Friendly Employer designation were evaluated using three data points: publicly available data from federal agencies; personal opinion data from veteran employees; and proprietary Military Friendly survey data from participating organizations. More than 200 companies participated in the survey. Final ratings combined survey scores with an organization’s new hiring and retention of, turnover, and promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.

“With their valuable leadership skills and work ethic, hiring veterans makes Cognizant stronger,” said Jim Lennox, Chief People Officer, Cognizant. “We are proud of Cognizant’s Veterans Network and the community it has created.  In addition to hiring veterans throughout our organization, we are committed to providing challenging career opportunities that align with the unique talent and abilities that veterans bring to Cognizant.”
