Honoring Service and Supporting Success: RXO’s Commitment to Veterans

Honoring Service and Supporting Success: RXO’s Commitment to Veterans

As Veterans Day approaches, RXO reaffirms its unwavering dedication to the military community. This isn’t just a symbolic gesture; it’s a deeply held commitment to honoring the sacrifices of our service members and ensuring a smooth transition into civilian life for veterans seeking rewarding careers. We believe in leveraging the exceptional skills and dedication honed in the military to fuel our organizational growth.

Engaging with the Military Community: A Targeted Approach

Our commitment begins with proactive recruitment efforts. RXO’s talent acquisition team actively seeks out veteran candidates nationwide, identifying individuals whose skills and experience align perfectly with our organizational needs. We don’t just post jobs; we actively engage with the military community through:

  • Targeted Recruitment: We meticulously search for veteran candidates, ensuring a precise match between their skills and our open positions.
  • Military Hiring Events: We participate in military hiring events across the country, fostering direct connections with potential employees. This face-to-face engagement demonstrates our genuine commitment.

These initiatives aren’t just about filling roles; they’re about building relationships and recognizing the inherent value veterans bring to the workforce.

Collaboration and Recognition: Partnering for Success

RXO’s dedication to veteran support extends beyond internal initiatives. We collaborate with leading organizations like MilitaryFriendly.com, actively participating in their comprehensive surveys to identify areas for continuous improvement in our veteran support programs. Our dedication has earned us the esteemed designation of a Military Friendly Employer, validating our commitment to creating impactful initiatives that benefit service members and veterans alike. This recognition underlines our understanding that hiring veterans isn’t just socially responsible; it’s a strategic business decision that strengthens our organization.

BRAVE: Building a Supportive Network

Within RXO, we’ve established BRAVE—Bringing Resources to Allies and Veteran Employees—an employee affinity group dedicated to supporting our veteran workforce. BRAVE provides a crucial platform for:

  • Networking: Connecting veterans with each other, fostering camaraderie and shared experiences.
  • Mentorship: Providing opportunities for career development and advancement.
  • Mutual Support: Creating a supportive environment where veterans can thrive.

BRAVE is instrumental in fostering a culture of inclusivity and mutual support, ensuring our veteran employees feel valued and empowered.

Community Partnerships: Extending Our Reach

Our commitment extends beyond our employee base. RXO proudly partners with several organizations dedicated to veteran welfare, including:

  • Veterans Bridge Home: Supporting initiatives like the HERO Run and providing financial contributions.
  • The Honor Foundation (THF): Offering crucial resources to help active-duty military members successfully transition into civilian careers.
  • Wreaths Across America: Participating annually as a transportation partner and volunteering to lay wreaths for fallen soldiers.

These partnerships reflect our dedication to supporting veterans not just during their transition but throughout their lives.

A Commitment to the Future

RXO stands as a leader in veteran recruitment, setting the standard for effective engagement with the military community. By leveraging technology, creating supportive internal networks, and collaborating with dedicated organizations, we’re building a future where veterans find fulfilling careers and thrive in the civilian workforce. Our commitment to veterans is an integral part of our company culture, and we are proud to honor their service and dedication.
