CBRE Named to Victory Media’s 2016 Top 100 Military Friendly® Employers List

CBRE Group, Inc. has earned the 2016 Top 100 Military Friendly® Employer designation by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs® and Military Spouse. This is the fifth year in a row CBRE has been recognized by Victory Media for its military friendly practices.

CBRE is committed to hiring military talent, knowing first-hand that recruiting from the military community can lead to strategic competitive advantage.

“At CBRE, we take great pride in creating career opportunities for those who have selflessly served their country,” said Grayson Gill, Chief Operating Officer, Asset Services, and Executive Sponsor of the CBRE Military Network Group. “We value the skills and leadership qualities that are ingrained in those individuals who serve in the U.S. military, and are extremely proud of being named a Military Friendly® Employer for the fifth year in a row.”

Companies competed for the elite Military Friendly® Employer title by completing a data-driven survey, with data independently tested by EY (Ernst & Young) based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media and its Advisory Board. Criteria for the survey included a benchmark score across key programs and policies, such as the strength of company military recruiting efforts, percentage of new hires with prior military service, retention programs for veterans, and company policies on National Guard and Reserve service.

Now in its 13th year, Military Friendly® Employers is the premier resource for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment. Each year, companies taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Advisory Board consisting of leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. A full list of board members can be found at MilitaryFriendly.com/advisory-board.

“Companies that have earned the 2016 Military Friendly® Employer award have exceptionally strong hiring programs and meaningful careers for transitioning service members and spouses,” said Daniel Nichols, Chief Product Officer of Victory Media and Navy Reserve veteran. “Our Military Friendly® Employers are moving the needle beyond answering ‘why hire military’—they are truly aligning their jobs and recruiting efforts with Military Friendly® educators to translate military competencies into civilian jobs.”

CBRE will be showcased along with other 2016 Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and the January 2016 issue of Military Spouse Magazine, as well as on MilitaryFriendly.com.
