American Family Insurance recognized as a 5 Star Employer for veterans

Company earns the highest-level award from VETS Indexes Employer Awards for third consecutive year

American Family Insurance has been recognized for the third consecutive year as a top employer for veterans by VETS Indexes. This year, the company has earned the designation VETS Indexes 5 Star Employer in the 2024 VETS Indexes Employer Awards. The award recognizes the organization's commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing, and supporting veterans and the military-connected community.

In 2022, American Family earned a four-star rating from VETS Indexes. By implementing even stronger policies and practices, the company was able to better serve military and veteran employees and earn a five-star rating in both 2023 and 2024.

The VETS Indexes tracks the performance of companies that have established themselves as the best employers for veterans. The program analyzes employers' policies, practices, and outcomes in detail across the following five categories:

• Veteran job candidate recruiting and hiring
• Veteran employee development and retention
• Veteran-inclusive policies and culture
• Support for members of the National Guard and Reserves
• Military spouse/family support

"American Family is committed to serving those who serve our country through our inclusive culture, hiring practices, family support, and more." said Crystal Files, American Family Insurance vice president of talent and inclusion.

The company also offers a Veteran/Military Business Resource Group for employees, one of several employee-led affinity groups that provide networking, education, and input on business practices and decisions, particularly regarding diversity, equity and inclusion.

"We recognize the cutting-edge technical skills and soft skills veterans bring to the workplace, and we want to be recognized as a leader in supporting veterans," Files added. "I'm proud of our ongoing initiatives to support veterans and their families and hope we can inspire others to do the same."
