In a crowded market saturated with claims and jargon, how do you know if a designation is truly meaningful? The Military Friendly Employers designation isn’t a marketing claim, it’s a commitment earned through a transparent, data-driven methodology. It’s about demonstrating authentic support for the military community, and that begins with our rigorous, third-party assessment.
A Commitment Backed by Data, Not Just a Promise
The foundation of the Military Friendly® designation is our comprehensive survey, offered to organizations at no cost. This survey evaluates an organization’s policies, programs, and outcomes in key areas, including Veteran hiring, retention, and support. We don’t just rely on self-reported data; our assessment is also supported by public data from government sources, including the Department of Labor, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
This multi-faceted approach ensures that our ratings are objective and based on verifiable criteria. Our methodology, developed with the assistance of an independent research firm and our Advisory Council, is designed to measure true commitment and success. It provides a blueprint for organizations to build programs that genuinely work.

It encourages companies to take strategic steps to enhance their programs and incrementally raise the bar. The transparent criteria and established benchmarks provide a clear roadmap for organizations to not only attract Veteran talent but to build a truly supportive and inclusive workplace.
