LandrumHR Joins Military Spouse Employment Partnership Program

LandrumHR, a Pensacola, Florida based Professional Employer Organization (PEO), was recently appointed as a partner with the Military Spouse Employment Partnership Program. This award and recognition is extremely honorable as organizations must be selected to participate. Mandy Resmondo, Regional Director of Staffing, and Tina Collins, specialist with LandrumHR Staffing Division, will attend the award ceremony in Washington, DC, that is set to be held later this year.

"The Landrum Staffing division works closely with our military community in both our Pensacola and FWB offices," says Joni Humphreys with the staffing agency. "Services that our Staffing Division works with most frequently include the Warriors Working Program, Military Fleet and Family, Military Appreciation App, and now the Military Spouse Employment Partnership Program."

The Military Spouse Employment (MSEP), is an employment and career partnership that connects military spouses with more than 335 partner employers. These employer partners have committed to hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

The Military Spouse Employment Partnership Program was launched in 2011 by Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President and veteran Joe Biden, as part of the DOD Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program. The program seeks to reduce the 23 percent unemployment rate experienced by military spouses, and close the 25 percent wage gap experienced by military wives. The MSEP has hired over 98,000 spouses since its initial inception and has helped create more than five million jobs across the country.

With numerous offices throughout Florida as well as in North Carolina and South Carolina, the LandrumHR administers and/or manages more than 11,000 employees for their more than 1800 business clients. The company provides hiring and staffing solutions, as well as HR outsourcing, training and consulting. LandrumHR regularly hosts seminars and workshops for employees as well as business owners to provide training for a wealth of topics. The organization also provides drug screening, criminal background checks and reference checks for employers to save them time and money.
