Award recognizes organizations for their support of employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve

WASHINGTON, June 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Guidehouse, a leading global provider of consulting and managed services to public sector and commercial clients, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Pro Patria – Large Company Award for 2021 by Virginia Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) a Department of Defense Office under the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs. The esteemed recognition is the highest level award that may be bestowed by an ESGR State Committee.

The award recognizes employers who have demonstrated the greatest support to Guard and Reserve employees through their leadership and practices, including adopting personnel policies that make it easier for employees to participate in the National Guard and Reserve. While Guidehouse was nominated in 2020, the awards were delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions. The award ceremony was held at the National Museum of the US Army on June 3rd honoring award recipients from 2021 and 2022.

Captain Michael Sass, a senior consultant at Guidehouse who nominated the firm and his supervisor Ms. Allison Carter said, "The Army Reserve does not work without its Soldiers, and Reservists can only succeed with the support of their families, their military leadership, and their civilian employers. Civilian supervisors like Ms. Carter make a Reservist's career possible. On every occasion, Ms. Carter and the Guidehouse leadership team have demonstrated superior understanding, support, and commitment to my professional growth, both in and out of uniform."
