Office of The Secretary of Defense Awards "Patriot Employer" Award to Argus Chief Executive

McLean, VA., January 28, 2015 – Argus CEO, Jon Snyder, was awarded the "Patriot Employer" award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR).

According to the U.S. Department of Defense website, the Patriot Award reflects the efforts made to support Citizen Warriors through a wide-range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of absence if needed. Patriot Awards are awarded to individual supervisors, not to an entire staff or organization as a whole and are initiated through nomination by Guard or Reserve personnel

"It is a true honor to be the recipient of the Patriot Award. The award is a testament to our mission statement; which focuses on genuine caring for the professional and personal lives of all Argus mission partners.

After being a direct employee for several years of my professional career, I learned quickly that more often than not, employees were thought of as a commoditized and disposable asset – not encouraged and supported to be their best in every aspect of their life. I always felt a lack of sincerity from employers, which is one of the reasons I was compelled to start my own business. Over a decade later, it is clear our company success has originated from the genuine caring of our mission partners and our practice of a 'One Team, One Fight' philosophy - rather than the discouragement that comes from a self-serving management approach. We believe in the power, passionate commitment, and ingenuity of people - which is what the Patriot Employer represents," stated Jon Snyder, president & CEO.
