It is determined by the G.I. Jobs Military Friendly Franchising team in conjunction with a Military Friendly Franchise Advisory Board, who help determine the survey questions and weightings. The survey focus areas include a franchise’s success in recruiting military and veterans, programs and policies that measure a franchise’s non-financial effort to recruit and retain military and veterans and financial commitment to recruit and retain military and veterans.
“Comfort Keepers’ systematic business model and approach to care, known as Interactive Caregiving®, are both good fits for long-term success of both the veteran and the franchise,†according to Jim Brown, Vice President of Franchise Development, CK Franchising, Inc. “Comfort Keepers is proud to work with the men and women of the U.S. Military who choose to continue to service their communities as a senior care franchise owner after their military commitments are honored.â€
