2009 Employer Support Freedom Award
Microsoft Recognized by Secretary of Defense
The Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award is the highest
recognition given to employers for their support of their employees who also
serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
Nominations must come from a Guard or Reserve member who is employed by the
organization they are nominating, or a family member of the same. For 2209,
there were 3200 nominations of which 15 including Microsoft were selected. The
formal ceremony will be held on September 17th 2009 at the Ronald Reagan
Building.
The Freedom Award was instituted in 1996 by Secretary of Defense William
Perry. The National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve
(ESGR), the lead Department of Defense agency for gaining employer support, is
charged with planning, coordinating and executing this program.
The award was created to publicly recognize employers who provide exceptional
support to their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve. The
award is the highest in a series of ESGR awards that include the Patriot
Award, the Above and Beyond Award, and the Pro Patria Award.
Process takes into consideration specific support provided by an employer,
including pay policies, benefits and leave policies, previous ESGR awards,
supervisor training, ESGR advocacy, service member recognition, family
support, deployed member support, hiring preferences, and general military
support.
