Recognizing a commitment to veterans in the workplace for three years running
For the third year in a row, the Arbinger Institute has earned the HIRE Vets Medallion Award—a federal recognition that honors exceptional commitment to veterans in the workplace. The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans (HIRE Vets) Medallion Program is the only federal award that honors employers who excel in supporting U.S. veterans. By actively recruiting, hiring, and supporting veterans, Arbinger continues to build a culture of inclusivity that values the unique skills veterans bring to the team.
Arbinger’s Managing Partner, Mitch Warner, reflects on this achievement:
“At Arbinger, we are dedicated to seeking out diverse talent and creating an inclusive workplace...We are deeply gratified to receive the HIRE Vets Medallion Award for the third year in a row in recognition of our ongoing dedication to hiring, developing, and retaining our United States veterans whose invaluable skills, resilience, and dedication deeply enrich our team and culture.”
With veterans making up over 12% of Arbinger’s workforce—including four executive leaders—this commitment goes beyond hiring. Our professional development and leadership training programs are designed to transform workplace cultures and foster a sense of humanity within organizations. This commitment includes showcasing diverse voices and backgrounds, creating a workplace where all employees, including veterans, feel valued and supported.
Naomi Franchetti, Arbinger’s Director of Coaching Services and a 26-year United States Air Force veteran, shares her experience:
“Having served in the Air Force, I understand the challenges veterans can face as they transition back to life as a civilian, including in the workplace. I have witnessed firsthand how Arbinger supports veterans and businesses alike, fostering a positive experience that promotes growth, understanding, and a collaborative, inclusive environment that truly brings humanity to the workplace."

The HIRE Vets Medallion Award Program is the only federal award program that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans. Established under the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017 (HIRE Vets Act), the award is presented annually by the U.S. Department of Labor. It honors businesses of all sizes for their dedication to veteran employment by evaluating a range of criteria, including veteran hiring and retention rates, availability of veteran-specific resources, and leadership opportunities for veterans within the company.
