The recruitment program provides outreach and professional development opportunities for employees with military backgrounds and assists them with the transition from the military to a corporate culture. In addition, Hormel Foods will also offer internal training courses through its military and veterans employee resource group, which is designed to assist in transitioning military veterans and help ensure a smooth on-boarding at the company. "We are extremely proud to be recognized on this list for the first time," said Jeffrey M. Ettinger, chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer at Hormel Foods.
