SALUTE is one of six affinity groups called Business Impact Groups (BIGs) within Caesars Entertainment that promote diversity and inclusion of Caesars’ employees and community partners. SALUTE actively seeks to bring together veteran employees and supporters who embrace the core values of duty, honor, and selfless service. We come together around common issues, experiences and interests with the intention of strengthening our leadership, education, business exposure and support network.
SALUTE engages our network through volunteering and idea-sharing to give back to our communities, meet other veterans, their families, and celebrate and honor key military dates throughout the year. SALUTE organizes fundraisers, donation drives, job fairs, employment workshops, and holiday events, among other activities.
Some recent SALUTE highlights include:
Enlisting Heroes, our company-wide veteran hiring initiative, is not just the right thing to do, it is also the smart thing to do. Enlisting Heroes seeks to harness the skills and aptitudes veterans acquire throughout their military career and apply them to the business world. At Caesars Entertainment, there is no shortage of examples of veterans transitioning from successful careers in the military to successful careers in the gaming industry in a range of functions from property management, logistics, human resources, and more.
All Caesars Entertainment properties remain committed to aiding our nation’s veterans through employment opportunities and community outreach activities. In total, there have been more than 280 activities across the country and more than 2,000 veterans hired since the program’s launch in 2013. The company is proud to have donated approximately $1 million dollars towards veterans organizations. Our employees have also volunteered more than 4,000 hours in aiding community.
Caesars Entertainment has donated, volunteered, and contributed enterprise-support to the following organizations which help veterans and their families with mental and physical health, substance abuse, care packages, building memorials, financial assistance, housing, job training and access to essential services:
