Building Careers and Strengthening Families: Staffmark Group Provides Meaningful Support for Military Service Members

Staffmark Group, a leading provider of workforce solutions across the U.S., is proud to announce it has earned both the 2026 Gold Level Military Friendly® Employer and Top Ten Military Spouse Friendly® Employer designations, ranking #7 nationwide for its commitment to supporting veterans, service members, and their families through meaningful employment opportunities and career advancement. 

The Military Friendly® program, created by VIQTORY, recognizes organizations that go above and beyond in hiring, retaining, and developing military-connected talent. Employers are judged based on recruitment, retention, and culture, using a combination of public data sources, surveys, and input from the veteran community. More than 1,200 companies participated in this year’s 22nd annual Military Friendly® Employer survey. 

Through initiatives like the SMG Military Alliance Business Resource Group, Operation Hired, the DOD SkillBridge program, and partnerships with Blue Star Families, Staffmark Group provides resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help military professionals thrive. The company has built a culture of belonging that encourages education, recognition, and community involvement while advancing inclusion among employees with shared experiences, interests, or goals, especially those connected to the military and veteran communities. 

“At Staffmark Group, our mission is to connect people to work that matters, and that begins with honoring the dedication, leadership, and skill of our nation’s veterans,” said CEO Stacey Lane. “Our veterans and military spouses bring incredible value to the workforce, and we’re proud to support them as they build fulfilling civilian careers and continue making an impact across the industries we serve.” 

Staffmark Group recognizes the exceptional value veterans and military spouses bring to the workplace and remains dedicated to providing training, mentorship, and long-term career growth within an inclusive environment where they feel empowered to succeed. 

“Earning the Military Friendly® designation is more than a badge; it’s a reflection of deep-rooted values and strategic foresight,” said Kayla Lopez, Vice President of Memberships, Military Friendly®. “These organizations don’t just open doors for veterans, spouses, and service members; they build pathways for lasting impact. Their commitment isn’t performative; it’s transformative.” 

Staffmark Group will be featured in the 2026 Military Friendly® Employers Guide, published in the Winter issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and online at MilitaryFriendly.com.
