The Medallion Program is the only federal award that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans.When discussing the award, Derrick Murdock, IPS Packaging & Automation’s CEO and a U.S. Army veteran, says “our company works diligently to recruit and retain U.S. military veterans within the organization. We know that each of these team members learns a variety of skills during their time of service to our country that are invaluable to us as a business. Furthermore, we do our best to honor and give back to our nation’s veterans each day, and seeking to recruit, hire, and retain them as part of our staff is just one small way we can do so.”
IPS Packaging & Automation joins 848 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown not only a commitment to hiring veterans, but also to ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that utilize the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
