Securatech, a Farmington Hills-based company that provides technology monitoring and security services, has achieved Gold-level Veteran Friendly Employer status in just two years under the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) program, according to a news release.

Since its inception in 2013, the Veteran-Friendly Employer program has recognized more than 601 Michigan employers with Bronze, Silver or Gold level status for their efforts in supporting the recruitment, training and retention of veteran talent in the workforce. The prestigious Gold level designation has only been awarded to five percent of those companies. To be designated as a Gold level Veteran-Friendly Employer, employers must retain at least 75 percent of veteran hires over the past 12 months, implement internal veteran support networks and have a veteran-specific onboarding and orientation process, among other requirements.

“Achieving Gold-level Veteran-Friendly Employer status is an important milestone for Securatech,” said Rudy Patros, CEO and President of Securatech. “This recognition underscores our commitment to supporting veterans by providing meaningful employment opportunities and fostering an inclusive workplace where their unique skills and experiences are valued and utilized. We are dedicated to ensuring that veterans can thrive and continue to serve our community with the same dedication they demonstrated in their military service.”

With just over 100 employees, 20 of them identify as veterans, and Securatech offers salary incentives for candidates with military experience of up to $4 more per hour. The company became a veteran connector in 2022 and continues to expand its support services to veteran employees. In addition to personalized orientation for new employees who identify as veterans, Securatech is establishing a veteran employee resource group to provide support to its veteran employees.

“The Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency is proud to honor Securatech as our 31st Gold-level Veteran-Friendly Employer,” said MVAA Director Brian L. Love. “We joined the program in early 2022 at the Silver level and are impressed with Securatech’s dedication to supporting veterans in their workforce and achieving Gold status in just two years. It is critical to the success of Michigan’s workforce that our employers prioritize hiring and retaining veterans who possess integrity, honesty, discipline and resilience.”
