MGM Resorts International has secured recognition as one of the nation's foremost employers for Veterans, service members and military families, receiving a place on Military Times' Best for Vets: Employers list.
The Best for Vets: Employers survey is aimed at the military community as a guide for Veterans transitioning into civilian life. The rankings reflect a company's appeal as a workplace for current military employees and prospects within the military community, highlighting policies and practices that foster an attractive work environment.
Jyoti Chopra, Chief People, Inclusion and Sustainability Officer at MGM Resorts, said: "MGM Resorts is proud to honour the commitment and sacrifice of our nation's Veterans, service members and their families, underscoring our steadfast dedication to fostering a culture of inclusion. We are unwavering in our efforts to extend support, resources and career opportunities to those who have courageously defended our liberties and fundamental human rights."
MGM Resorts aims to promote inclusivity for Veterans through its Employee Network Groups and is a member of the Veteran Jobs Mission – a coalition working to place a million US military members and veterans in careers.
MGM Resorts annually hosts the Salute to the Troops celebration and supports events like the Las Vegas Veterans Day Parade.
The MGM Rewards Military and Veterans Program (MVP) further aims to strengthen personal connections with veterans by offering access to a range of amenities and discounts.
The news of MGM Resorts' accolade follows recent financial updates, including the company's recorded highest net revenue in the last five years. MGM China notably boosted Q2 figures, registering a 418% net revenue increase year-on-year, totalling $741m, surpassing pre-pandemic figures.
Additionally, MGM Resorts' partnership with Marriott International combined over 40,000 rooms from MGM properties into the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy in Las Vegas.
