Western & Southern Life has earned the 2022 "Top 10" Military Friendly® Employer designation from VIQTORY, publisher of G.I. Jobs® and Military Spouse Magazine. This is the tenth consecutive year Western & Southern Life has earned the Military Friendly® designation. VIQTORY has also named Western & Southern Life a “Top 10 Spouse Employer” and a “Top 10 Brand.”

"Western & Southern Life is committed to recruiting, attracting, developing and retaining military associates,” said Troy D. Brodie, president of Western & Southern Life’s agency group, the company’s field agent sales force. “We recognize that individuals with a United States military background bring leadership skills, a strong work ethic, the desire to help others and a code of ethics that aligns well with our company culture.”

With more than 100 offices across the United States, the company's field agent sales force provides middle-income Americans access to life insurance, annuities, investments and retirement strategies.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over a thousand companies participated in the 2022 survey. Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for the applicant, new hire retention, employee turnover, and promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.

“Companies earning the Military Friendly Employers designation create and elevate the standard for military programs across the globe, they have invested in substantive programs to recruit, retain and advance the veterans and service members within their organizations,” said Kayla Lopez, director of military partnerships, Military Friendly®. “To them, hiring veterans and service members is more than just the right thing to do, it makes good business sense.”

Western & Southern Life will be showcased, along with other 2022 Military Friendly® Employers, in the December issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on the Military Friendly® website
