MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) today announced it was named a 2025 Military Friendly® Employer by VIQTORY, an organization that connects the military community to civilian employment and educational opportunities. This is the eleventh consecutive year Ameriprise has earned the distinction in recognition of its commitment and work to creating an inclusive and supportive work environment for military community members.
“We are honored to be recognized as a Military Friendly Employer for our deep commitment to helping our country’s service members build meaningful careers,” said Kelli Hunter Petruzillo, Executive Vice President, Human Resources at Ameriprise. “Veterans bring invaluable qualities to the workplace, including a passion for leadership and a dedication to service, all of which help make Ameriprise a great place to work.”
Each company is evaluated based on public data sources and survey responses from participating employers. A combination of the organization’s survey score and an assessment of its ability to meet certain thresholds of veterans and military employees for various categories, including recruitment, new hire retention, employee turnover, and promotion and advancement, determined the rating.
“We salute these exemplary employers who raise the bar and understand that hiring military personnel is not merely an act of goodwill but a testament to a standard that truly embodies sound business wisdom. Their steadfast commitment to integrating military personnel into their workforce not only reflects their compassion but also underscores their business acumen," said Kayla Lopez, Senior Director of Military Partnerships at Military Friendly®
Ameriprise has a long-standing history of supporting veterans. In 2022, the firm partnered with Dalton Education to create a first-to-market Certified Military Financial Advisor™(CMFA) certification. Advisors who earn the certification are equipped with knowledge and expertise to help military members maximize resources and achieve their financial goals with confidence. Ameriprise is also a proud supporter of the U.S. Army Reserve Private Public Partnership, an organization that helps veterans overcome obstacles to employment after their military career.
