| For the second year in a row, RE/MAX International has been honored as a Top 10 military spouse-friendly employer by Military Spouse magazine. The list is featured in the magazine's June issue. The annual list is a "who's who" of large corporations that make the greatest effort and have the greatest success in hiring the spouses of military personnel. "Hiring military spouses is not only a way to recognize the sacrifice that those families have made, it's also good business," says Dave Liniger, RE/MAX International Chairman and Co-Founder. "We find that military spouses are organized and dedicated, and make great employees. We're happy to help our military families this way." The network's military employment program, Operation RE/MAX, has been helping military spouses and former military personnel find jobs in real estate for the past two years. RE/MAX is the only real estate company to make the Top 10 list, and is accompanied by other high-profile organizations like USAA, Home Depot and Wachovia. To make the list, companies are required to produce at least $1 billion in annual revenue, and have specific military employment programs in place. The winners were selected from a pool of approximately 2,500 companies. Created in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense, Operation RE/MAX matches members of the military community with volunteer RE/MAX Broker/Owners who've made a commitment to coach, train and mentor these employees. Operation RE/MAX has earned the cooperation of more than 500 military installations, and enlisted the support of more than 1,000 RE/MAX offices. Most importantly, RE/MAX has placed hundreds of military spouses and personnel in jobs all around the world. See Also: Operation RE/MAX Copyright © 2008 RE/MAX International Inc. 5/8/08 |
