Offering resources and flexibility to military spouses
In the United States, 95% of military spouses are women and 30%—more than three times the national average—are unemployed, due largely to frequent military moves. Another 47% of those who are employed are underemployed, in terms of education/experience.
But at Booz Allen, we recognize that military spouses are flexible, adaptable problem solvers, who can translate their experiences relocating every few years and managing spouse deployments to benefit the firm and our clients. And they understand the military culture, adding credibility in working with our defense clients. We actively recruit military spouses and offer them the resources and flexibility they need.
Booz Allen is also one of only a few organizations that offer a dedicated Employee Resource Group for military spouses. Our Military Spouse Forum raises awareness about our military spouses, connects members with other military spouses, and provides opportunities and resources for them to succeed.
