TDS Telecom is proud to once again be named a top Wisconsin workplace for Veterans. The Madison-based company received a gold certification in the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development’s Vets Ready Employer Initiative, which recognizers employers that have gone above and beyond to hire and support Veterans and their families.
“We can never do enough to thank the millions of brave and selfless Veterans who have defended our country at home and abroad to secure our freedom. TDS is proud to employ approximately 370 Veterans, all of whom are an integral part of our company’s success. We will continue to do all we can to honor their sacrifices and their service,” TDS Telecom CEO Jim Butman said.
The Vets Ready Employer Initiative encourages employers to build a support system within their workplace, hire and retain more Veterans, and connect to veterans and their families in the community.
TDS works diligently to make Veterans aware of employment opportunities and, once they are employed, ensure they are supported. For associates on military leave, TDS offers differential compensation, continuation of health care coverage, and the company share of insurance premiums. TDS also gives Veterans an extra day off to show appreciation for their service.
TDS’ Patriot Associate Resource Group provides a sub-community within the larger company workforce for Veterans, current military service members, first responders, and non-military supporters. Founded in 2016, the group offers avenues for volunteerism, support for various service organizations, knowledge sessions, and celebrates military holidays and events.
