Recognizing employers who support veterans

Veteran Employment
Benchmarking Service

VETS Indexes’ groundbreaking Veteran Employment Benchmarking Service provides employers with detailed question-by-question and summary-level data, showing how your veteran-related policies and outcomes compare – versus our entire field of survey participants, versus peer organizations, and versus the top finishers from the VETS Indexes Employer Awards. This comparative data covers more than 100 detailed metrics, showing exactly where your organization leads the way and where there may be room for improvement.

Key Features

  • Best Practices Comparison:
    See how your organization stacks up to top-rated 5 Star VETS Indexes Employers
  • Multi-Year Data Tracking:
    Analyze year-over-year changes in your veterans program – and how they compare with other organizations over the same period
  • Reservist Pay Policies:
    Unprecedented comparative data detailing the level of pay offered to Guard/Reserve employees and how long that pay continues

Longitudinal Tracking: For nearly every numeric survey question, our new longitudinal tracking shows how your organization’s veteran-related policies and outcomes grow and change each year, in the context of other organization’s aggregate changes during the same period.

Exclusive Intel For Your Veterans Program

In an era of limited budgets – but ever-expanding veterans program services and features – how should you allocate resources to make the most meaningful improvements? Answer that question with hard data – that you can’t find anywhere else. See how your organization compares to everyone else, to your peer organizations, and to the top-rated employers. See which metrics are trending the right way and which are trending the wrong way. See which partnerships and services other employers rely on and which they ignore. And watch your veterans program lift-off, thanks to the power of data-driven decisions.

A new 5 star average comparison, shown below with green stars, was added to all parts of our benchmarking service. Compare your organization to the top-rated 5 Star Employers, across more than 100 metrics.

Hiring veterans is only the first step. Are they developing into senior leaders or stuck in entry-level jobs? Our stacked bar chart lets you compare the seniority levels of vets at your organization – and others.

See how your responses to multiple choice survey questions stacked up:

Are your organization’s reservist pay policies more generous than other employers’ or less? See how both the level of pay and duration of pay your organization offers stack up against the competition.

Our grid-style analysis provides granular comparisons of how often other organizations offer various programs and services, such as training employees in military career paths and culture.
