Zeiders Enterprises Inc. Honored as a 2025 VETS Indexes 5 Star Employer
VETS Indexes proudly announced that Zeiders Enterprises Inc. has been recognized as a 5 Star Employer in the 2026 VETS Indexes Employer Awards – one of the program’s very highest distinctions – because of the organization’s strong commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing, and supporting veterans and the military-connected community.
“Zeiders Enterprises Inc. has demonstrated meaningful and measurable support for veterans and the military-connected community through its commitment to building opportunities for those who served,” said Nicholas Antaki, President of VETS Indexes.
“As we launch our new awards platform and enhanced survey experience in 2026, we are making it easier than ever for organizations to showcase their veteran employment initiatives and benchmark their progress. Employers like Zeiders Enterprises Inc. continue to set the standard and help drive the future of veteran employment forward.”
“We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for Veterans and Military Spouses,” said Paul Richardson, President and CEO of Zeiders Enterprises. “As a company rooted in service, we are proud to support the unique talents and experiences of the military community — not only within Zeiders but in the lives we impact every day.”
VETS Indexes recognized organizations across the following award levels: 5 Star Employer, 4 Star Employer, 3 Star Employer, and Recognized Employer. Not every responding organization made the cut – only those that demonstrated a strong commitment to veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military spouses. Participating organizations included companies large and small, government agencies and departments, nonprofit groups, colleges, and universities.
As the most objective and comprehensive evaluation of veteran employers, the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program has set a new standard in veteran employment data. VETS Indexes and its Employer Awards have been featured on CNBC, Fox Business and BNN Bloomberg, as well as military-specific outlets, including Military.com, Military Times and Stars & Stripes. This in-depth survey and recognition program analyzes employers’ policies, practices, and outcomes in detail, across the following 5 categories:
- Veteran job candidate recruiting and hiring
- Veteran employee development and retention
- Veteran-inclusive policies and culture
- Support for members of the National Guard and Reserves
- Military spouse/family support
