STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 2012--
Pitney
Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) announced today that it has set up a special
website targeted at military veterans and their families so that they
can more easily find work at the company.
The website, located at www.pb.com/careers,
allows military veterans to map their training and skills to a roster of
actual job openings listed on the Pitney Bowes site. Simply selecting
one’s military job title on the site will call up every Pitney Bowes job
opening with a skills requirement similar to that of the selected
military title, according to the company.
The new website supports Pitney Bowes’s commitment to the 100,000
Jobs Mission, a joint effort of more than seventy companies to
provide meaningful career opportunities to the huge number of veterans
who are returning from deployment or from lengthy military service. The
100,000 Jobs Mission estimates that more than 28,000 veterans have
already been hired by member companies so far, including nearly 200 at
Pitney Bowes.
Johnna
Torsone, executive vice president and chief human resources officer
at Pitney Bowes said: "Our company is proud
to support veteran employment efforts and, whenever we have the
opportunity, to increase the number of our employees who are veterans,
military spouses or active duty servicemen and women transitioning to
civilian life. It is not just our way of saying thank you; it is a
recognition that these men and women bring leadership, skills, training
and teamwork that can directly benefit our company."
