CHICAGO (May 9, 2013)- Aon plc (NYSE:AON), the leading global provider of risk management and human resource consulting and outsourcing, has been named one of America’s best employers for veteran’s in 2013 by Military Times EDGE Magazine. This marks the third year in a row that Aon has been recognized for its work in support of America’s veterans.

“Aon recognizes the value of empowering opportunities for our colleagues who have served in the military,” said Greg Case, President and CEO. “We want Aon to be a great place to work for everyone, including veterans.  Under the leadership of General Richard B. Myers, retired chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and a member of our board of directors, Aon has formed a strong relationship with key veterans organizations which play a vital role in helping veterans begin or resume their careers.”

Aon was recognized by Military Times EDGE for the emphasis it places on empowering veterans as they return to civilian life. This is demonstrated within Aon in numerous ways, including Aon’s travel security program WorldAware Solutions which is staffed entirely by military veterans and Aon’s continued support of the Wounded Warrior Project through its “Aon Salute to America’s Wounded Warrior” events which bring veterans and potential employers together to celebrate their service to America and discuss career opportunities.  ,
