Herc Rentals Recognized Again for Veteran Hiring and Career Development by the U.S. Department of Labor, Military Friendly® and Military Times BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Herc Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRI), one of North America’s leading equipment rental suppliers operating through Herc Rentals Inc. (“Herc Holdings,” “Herc Rentals” or the “Company”), has once again been recognized as a top employer for military veterans and active service members by three national programs that evaluate organizations’ commitment to the military community.

For the third time, Herc Rentals earned the HIRE Vets Gold Medallion. Presented by the U.S. Department of Labor, this is the only federal-level award recognizing employers for their commitment to veteran hiring, retention and professional development.

Herc Rentals also earned its 12th consecutive Military Friendly® Employer designation, receiving the Gold designation for the fifth year in a row and a Top 10 ranking for the third time. The Company was recognized as a Military Friendly® Spouse Employer for the sixth consecutive year and was named to the Best for Vets: Employers list by Military Times for the fourth year.

Employers earning each of these distinctions must meet rigorous criteria that go beyond hiring numbers – they must show measurable success in veteran retention, professional development and advancement opportunities. This means creating programs that not only welcome veterans but also help them thrive long-term.

“Through their military service, veterans have developed qualities like integrity, discipline and leadership that help equip Herc Rentals to be the choice,” said Aaron Birnbaum, Herc Rentals’ President. “What makes these recognitions meaningful is the action and commitment they represent. We are proud to be an employer of choice for the military community – one that values their skills and offers opportunities to build rewarding, long-term careers.”

Veterans and service members make up 9% of Herc Rentals’ workforce, compared to 4.9% of the total U.S. civilian labor force. Through its Veterans Resource Network, the Company fosters a supportive, veteran-ready environment by recognizing their immense value and fostering a work culture of growth, training and respect. The Company also offers flexibility and resources to help reservists and National Guard members balance work and service obligations.
