SAN DIEGO, Calif.: Cubic Corporation has announced that it has earned the 2015 Military Friendly Employer designation by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse. Companies competed for the elite Military Friendly Employer title by completing a data-driven survey, with data independently tested by Ernst & Young LLP based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media and its Advisory Board. Criteria for the survey included a benchmark score across key programs and policies, such as the strength of company military recruiting efforts, percentage of new hires with prior military service, retention programs for veterans, and company policies on National Guard and Reserve service.
Cubic is committed to hiring military talent, knowing first-hand that recruiting from the military community can lead to strategic competitive advantage. “Veterans possess the drive, self-discipline and problem-solving skills that are essential for our industry,” said Bradley H. Feldmann, president and chief executive officer of Cubic Corporation. “More than 30 percent of Cubic’s workforce are veterans and we value their unique experiences and capabilities that help deliver innovative products that meet the needs of our defense and transportation industry customers. We are honored to see Cubic ranked once again on Victory Media’s Military Friendly® Employers List.”
