Evansville-based Old National Bancorp was recently recognized as a 2025 Military Friendly Employer.
Military Friendly designated companies foster the recruitment, retention, promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees. The designation recognizes an organization’s commitment to creating sustainable and meaningful benefits for active duty, reserves, guard, veterans and their spouses. The recognition is based on an evaluation of public data sources and survey responses.
More than 1,200 companies participated in this year’s Military Friendly survey.
The results for the 2025 recognitions, published by G.I. Jobs magazine, recognized Old National in four award categories:
- The top Gold Award as a Military Friendly Employer
- Designation as a Military Friendly Company
- Designation as a Military Friendly Supplier Diversity Program
- Designation as a Military Friendly Brand
“Most veterans face many challenges when transitioning to the civilian world,” said Jeff Boudreau, U.S. Marines veteran and co-chair of Old National’s internal team member Military Veterans Impact Network, in a press release. “Groups like our Military Veterans Impact Network help people to better understand those challenges and assist veterans in becoming more engaged by being patient as veterans unpack and embrace their experience, build relationships and become fully present at work.”
Old National’s veterans impact network consists of about 100 team members throughout the Midwest and Southeast. They collaborate to create programs for transitioning veterans while providing team members who are military veterans and their family members and supporters with education, resources and networking opportunities.
“We salute these exemplary employers who raise the bar and understand that hiring military personnel is not merely an act of goodwill, but a testament to a standard that truly embodies sound business wisdom,” Kayla Lopez, senior director of military partnerships at Military Friendly, said. “Their steadfast commitment to integrating military personnel into their workforce not only reflects their compassion, but also underscores their business acumen.”
Old National will be showcased among the 2025 Military Friendly Employers in the Winter issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
