National Life has received the Patriotic Employer award from the Department of Defense’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) program for supporting one of our team mates, Chris Tanguay, who is being actively deployed for approximately one year.
“I am honored to accept this award on behalf of all my National Life teammates in supporting Chris in his mission,” said Michael Morey, head of infrastructure at National Life. “Leaving one’s employer, family, and community for an extended time and possibly being put in harm’s way is no small sacrifice. We all wish Chris a safe deployment and a speedy return. Special thanks needs to go to our People Center and Michele Granitz for her exceptional efforts working one-on-one with Chris to ease transition concerns.”
ESGR, a Department of Defense program, was established in 1972 to promote cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their civilian employers and to assist in the resolution of conflicts arising from an employee’s military commitment. ESGR has served our country for more than 45 years, fostering a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States.
