Earlier this year, we received the good news of being named one of Indiana’s Best Places to Work!
All companies that participated in the 2021 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses according to their employees. We are especially proud of this recognition because this is the first time we have applied for this award!

Last week, we were officially presented our award for Best Places To Work In Indiana!
Below is our official Press Release:
HVAF – Helping Veterans And Families – was named one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana by Indiana Chamber of Commerce and Best Companies Group.
The annual statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize, and honor participating employers in Indiana with leading workplace cultures. The list is made up of 125 companies. HVAF fits into the small company category with 65 employees.
This was the first-time essential service agency HVAF participated in the program which was led by HVAF’s Vice President for Personnel – Sammy Mitchell.
“We pride ourselves in creating a positive employment experience and are grateful that we have been successful in doing so,” Mitchell said. “HVAF will continue our efforts to ensure and sustain a positive workplace and we are so thankful for each and every one of our dedicated employees.”
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Indiana. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Indiana, analyzed the data, and determined the final rankings.
