Johnson Controls affirms faith in 'Guard & Reserve' forces

In a ceremony held honoring veterans at the company's headquarters in Milwaukee, Alex Molinaroli, chief executive officer of Johnson Controls, signed the document which affirms the company's support for its employees who put on the uniforms of the Guard and Reserve.

"Johnson Controls recognizes the sacrifice our employees and their families make when they join the Guard and Reserve and we are committed to help them succeed in their careers as civilians and members of our armed forces," said Molinaroli.

By signing the statement of support, Johnson Controls pledges to provide its supervisors with the tools needed to manage employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve and to encourage opportunities to employ members of the Guard and Reserve as well as veterans.

Employers are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the Guard and Reserve," said Paul Mock, national chairman of the ESGR.  "Thanks to support from companies like Johnson Controls, the men and women of the Guard and Reserve are able to help protect and defend this great nation."

Helping the company to be a veteran's employer of choice is the Johnson Controls Veterans Engagement Team (VET), made of up employees who are advocating on behalf of veterans and military members and their families.   VET was formally recognized and chartered by the company in 2013.
