By signing the statement, Orion pledges that we will:
- Fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
- Provide our managers and supervisors with the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve.
- Appreciate the values, leadership and unique skills service members bring to the workforce and will encourage opportunities to employ Guardsmen, Reservists, and Veterans.
- Continually recognize and support our country's Service members and their families in peace, in crisis, and in war.
ESGR is a Department of Defense agency
established in 1972 to develop and maintain employer support for Guard and
Reserve service. ESGR advocates relevant initiatives, recognizes outstanding
support, increases awareness of applicable laws, and resolves conflict between
service members and employers. The ESGR Statement of
Support program was designed with the intent of increasing employer support by
encouraging employers to act as advocates for employee participation in the
military.
Founded in 1991 by
five former Junior Military Officers, Orion is the nation’s largest recruiting
firm, whose staff consists mainly of veterans, military spouses, and those
still serving in the Guard or Reserves. With such a unique staff, Orion is not
only able to help service members make the transition into the civilian workforce
but also support our own employees who continue to serve. Additionally, Orion’s
Values of Excellence, Innovation, Teamwork, Warrior Ethos, and Commitment
complement ESGR’s mission of encouraging the employment of Guardsmen and
Reservists who bring integrity, global perspective and proven leadership to the
civilian workforce.
