Kansas City National Security Campus managed by Honeywell FM&T Earns VETS Indexes 5 Star Employer Award for 2025
Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) managed by Honeywell FM&T has been recognized as a 5 Star Employer in the 2025 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.
“Kansas City National Security Campus has demonstrated exceptional support for veterans and the military-connected community, earning the organization one of the most prestigious awards possible in the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program,” said George Altman, president of VETS Indexes.
“Even as more organizations than ever before are recognizing the uniquely valuable skills that veterans bring as employees, the efforts of Kansas City National Security Campus to recruit, retain, develop, and support those who served, as well as their families, stand out from the pack. KCNSC is among the very best veteran employers, and its program can serve as a model for others.”
This year, a record total of 349 organizations completed and submitted surveys for the VETS Indexes Employer Awards. 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.
“KCNSC works hard to hire more veterans into our organization. Veterans comprised 17 percent of new hires at the KCNSC in 2024. Veterans have an immediate connection with our mission to deliver quality products and services to advance our nuclear deterrent in defense of our nation,” said Tony Garrison, Senior Staffing Specialist at KCNSC.
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. 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
