HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Veterans and transitioning service members often have difficulty
communicating their skills and military background in terms that
civilian employers can understand, making a move into the private sector
a challenge. Through a new partnership with Hiring Our Heroes, Phillips
66 (NYSE: PSX) joins more than 30 of America’s largest employers in its
commitment to hiring veterans.
“Supporting Hiring our Heroes is a natural fit for Phillips 66,” says
Sonya Reed, senior vice president of Human Resources for Phillips 66.
“Veterans share our company’s values of safety, honor and commitment.
This partnership will help us create a pipeline of qualified employees
as well as raise the visibility of Phillips 66 as an employer of choice
for transitioning military service members.”
“Hiring Our Heroes is a national grassroots campaign sponsored by the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation that works to connect veterans,
transitioning service members and military spouses with great
companies,” says Eric Eversole, vice president, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
and president, Hiring Our Heroes. “The program helps translate service
members’ skills so employers better understand their value.”
Phillips 66 has a strong record of hiring U.S. veterans. Through this
partnership with Hiring Our Heroes, the company is expanding its
commitment to establishing best practices for veteran and spouse
employment and providing mentors to veterans.
