Walmart U.S. President and CEO Bill Simon is not letting a stalled Congress hinder progress. He’s taking a proactive stance to get American people back to workveterans in particularand is also investing in U.S.based businesses.
Following bad press about its practices in Mexico last year, Simon recently announced three major initiatives that analysts say should improve Walmart’s image as a leader in corporate social responsibility.
1) Walmart will hire any returning veteran who wants a job within the first 12 months of coming off active duty. The company’s goal is to hire 100,000 veterans over five years.
