jayfer2 0 Comments December 4, 2024

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VETS Indexes, a firm dedicated to promoting veteran employment, is excited to announce that the 2025 VETS Indexes Employer Awards survey application has launched and is ready for organizations to respond. The prestigious awards program recognizes an organization’s commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing and supporting veteran employees and others in the military-connected community.

Participation in the VETS Indexes Employers Awards is completely free of charge and open to organizations of all types and sizes. Organizations that achieve top scores will be honored with an award, a news release, and a VETS Indexes Employer Awards seal that can be used in advertising, marketing, and recruiting efforts — a powerful symbol of their leadership in veteran employment.

To request a survey application for your organization: (https://vetsindexes.com/employer-awards/) Click this link and fill out the yellow box near the top of the page.
To learn more about the Employer Awards program: (https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FL0yBRK6RUmBXXEbFVgcaQ) Register for our informational webinar on 12/17 at 2 pm ET, during which we will provide an overview of the program, offer tips for improving your organization’s award level, suggest shortcuts for filling out the survey, explain our evaluation process, and more.

The VETS Indexes Employer Awards program is the nation’s most objective and fastest growing recognition program for organizations focused on hiring veterans. The number of participants has tripled over the past couple of years, and they range from the world’s largest companies to your local sheriff’s office.

“The VETS Indexes team and I have been absolutely floored by the surge of interest in the Employer Awards,” said George Altman, president of VETS Indexes. “Top veteran employers across the country have recognized the fair, objective, and high-integrity process behind this program and have flocked to be part of it. If your organization hasn’t participated previously, now is the perfect time to get involved!”

Every organization that submits a survey for the Employer Awards will receive one complimentary ticket to the April 10 Employing U.S. Vets Conference in New York City (https://employingusvets.com/). Awards recipients from the 2025 program will be announced at this event, followed by a day full of speakers and panels sharing tips and best practices related to veteran employment. In addition to providing the free conference ticket, participating in the Employer Awards program opens up the Veteran Employment Benchmarking Service to your organization. This groundbreaking service digs into our exclusive veteran employment dataset to provide detailed and actionable intelligence on the areas where an organization’s veterans program excels – and where there may be room for improvement. The benchmarking includes a summary overview as well as granular, question-by-question detail, with comparative data showing the performance of our full field of survey participants, top-ranked veteran employers, and both industry- and size-based peer organizations. Learn more about the benchmarking service at this link (https://vetsindexes.com/benchmarking-2024/).

The deadline to submit surveys for the VETS Indexes Employer Awards is February 14, 2025.

All data that employers provide in VETS Indexes’ 65-question survey is treated as confidential and never published. The program evaluates organizations across the following 5 categories:

Veteran job candidate recruiting and hiring
Veteran employee development and retention
Veteran-inclusive company policies and culture
Support for members of the National Guard and Reserves
Military spouse/family support

About VETS Indexes: VETS Indexes is a leading voice on veteran employment issues, overseeing the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, hosting the Employing U.S. Vets Conference, unearthing unique and unprecedented data on veteran employment through the Veteran Employment Benchmarking Service, and developing custom indexes, linked to financial products, that track the performance of the publicly traded companies that have established themselves as the best employers for veterans.

The VETSX and VTRNIX indexes were created on the premise that the companies that make the best use of the highly talented, yet under-valued, talent pool that veterans represent will ultimately see a benefit to their bottom lines. The performance of the indexes has emphatically confirmed that thesis, outpacing the S&P 500.

As the world’s first resource for U.S.-veteran-themed indexes, our mission is to provide innovative solutions that recognize the value created by the mission-critical mindset, unique skills, and specialized training that veterans bring to the workplace. Our mission also includes a commitment to always donate a significant portion (target of 20% and no less than 5%) of our net profits to charitable organizations that support veterans and their families.
