<\/a><\/a>\n\u201cRyder is proud to employ so many members of the veteran community and to recognize the disciplined, highly skilled professionals who play critical roles across our organization,\u201d says Ryder Chief Executive Officer John Diez. \u201cVeterans bring integrity, accountability, and a mission\u2011driven mindset, qualities that strengthen our operations and help us deliver on our commitments to customers every day. Being recognized by VETS Indexes is an honor, but what matters most is the impact our veteran employees make across Ryder. We extend our deepest gratitude to all veterans for their service, sacrifice, and dedication.\u201d<\/p>
\nVETS Indexes recognized participating organizations that demonstrated a strong commitment to veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military spouses. The awards were announced during the Employing U.S. Vets Conference at the New York Athletic Club.<\/p>
\n\u201cRyder has demonstrated meaningful and measurable support for veterans and the military\u2011connected community through its commitment to building opportunities for those who served,\u201d says Nicholas Antaki, President of VETS Indexes. \u201cAs we launch our new awards platform and enhanced survey experience in 2026, we are making it easier than ever for organizations to showcase their veteran employment initiatives and benchmark their progress. Employers like Ryder continue to set the standard and help drive the future of veteran employment forward.\u201d<\/p>
