Statement of Support AIG's Veteran Recruiting Initative
- 1. Statement of Support: AIG’s Veteran Recruiting Initiative AIG is doing more than just honoring servicemen and women who make the commitment and sacrifice to protect our country, by evaluating solutions to provide employment opportunities for military members and veterans. On November 20, the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) came to AIG to meet with AIG Life and Retirement (AIGLR) Executive Vice President and Chief Distribution Officer, Group Retirement, Shawn Duffy and AIGLR, Group Retirement Human Resources and Talent Acquisition to examine opportunities for employers to help open doors and introduce a new way of helping to employ military members and veterans. A four-point pledge called a Statement of Support (SoS) was signed by Shawn stating that the employer will recognize and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, provide effective tools to manage employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve, appreciate the values and skills of Service members and promote employment opportunities for Guardsmen, Reservists, and Veterans and support our country’s Service members and their families in peace, crisis and war times. After Shawn accepted a “challenge coin” to help promote veteran employment opportunities from the ESGR, he questioned ESGR Regional Director Bill Cyrus “What are the best employer partners doing, so we know what to strive to accomplish?” And Bill responded by explaining some of the extraordinary supportive employer programs that are already in place and working. AIGLR Talent Acquisition Director, Financial Distributors Recruiting, Tara Ricketts added, “Forming a partnership with the ESGR is a great first step in reconfirming our commitment to recruit and employ veteran talent.” And Shawn Duffy is not alone in this effort, President and Chief Executive Officer, AIG Financial Distributors and Chief Distribution Officer, AIGLR, Steve Maginn and Executive Vice President and Chief Distribution Officer, Life Insurance, AIG Financial Distributors, John Deremo will follow right behind him and sign a SoS giving ear to understanding what the ESGR can provide and promote employment opportunities in veteran hiring. The ESGA is a Department of Defense agency established in 1972 to develop and maintain employer support for Guard and Reserve service. The agency aids in increasing awareness of applicable laws, recognizing support, and resolving conflictive issues between Service members and employers.
