Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa was recently awarded the 2022 Employer of Older Workers Award by the American Legion Department of Illinois and the American Legion National Veterans Employment & Education Commission. With this award, the Commission recognizes one employer in each state for an outstanding record in the hiring and retention of older workers. The American Legion Fickbohm-Hissem Post 193 in Galena nominated Eagle Ridge. Eagle Ridge joins winners from each state to be considered for this honor at the national level, which will be determined next year. The Commission has been recognizing employers with the award since 1958 when it saw the importance of older workers in the future labor force as fewer young people entered the labor market. “Employ the Older Worker Week” was established by the American Legion and is observed the last full week of each September. The week recognizes the vital role of older workers in the workforce. Pictured, from left are: Stephen Geisz, General Manager; Greg Smith, Director of Human Resources; Jerry Howard, Commander Post 193 Galena; Mark Klausner, Owner; Colin Sanderson, Director of Sales.
