LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Windstream, a privately held communications and software company, has been named a Top 10 Military Friendly® Company for the second consecutive year. The company ranked fifth on the 2023 list, up from ninth last year.

“We are thrilled to move up the Top 10 Military Friendly® Company list as we continue our focused efforts to hire and retain veterans,” said Mary Michaels, chief human resources officer at Windstream. “Windstream has a strong diversity and inclusion program, and recruiting and retaining military veterans is a key component of that effort.”
