Med-Tech Recognized for Support of National Guard and Reserve
Med-Tech, a prominent medical technology company, has been recognized for its outstanding support of National Guard and Reserve members. This acknowledgement comes through the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) awards, which honor employers who go beyond the requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) to support their service members.
- The ESGR awards include several recognition options, each highlighting different aspects of employer support. The Patriot Award specifically recognizes supervisors and bosses for their direct support provided to Service members and their families.
- The Spouse Patriot Award acknowledges employers who assist Guard and Reserve spouses, often facing unique challenges related to military service.
- The Seven Seals Award is presented for significant individual or organizational achievements that promote and support the ESGR mission. This award recognizes employers who demonstrate exceptional support for Guard and Reserve members and their families.
Med-Tech’s recognition is a testament to the company’s commitment to fostering a supportive environment for its service members. By implementing flexible scheduling, generous leave policies, and robust training for human resource professionals, Med-Tech has set a high standard in employer support.
Moreover, Med-Tech has been known to go the extra mile in supporting its Guard and Reserve employees. The company stays connected with deployed members through care packages, assists with family care during deployments, and provides enhanced pay and benefit packages.
This kind of support not only benefits individual service members but also enhances the overall strength, readiness, and diversity of the National Guard and Reserve forces. As Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III stated, “We owe a debt of gratitude to these exemplary employers, who by valuing and supporting their employees’ military service, enhance the readiness and diversity of our National Guard and Reserve forces.”
