“Employers that have earned this designation have invested in substantive programs to recruit, retain, and advance veterans within their organizations,” said Daniel Nichols, chief product officer at Victory Media. “To them, hiring veterans isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s good for business.”

Methodology

The Military Friendly Employers list is created each year based on extensive research using public data sources, input of military employees, and responses to the proprietary, data-driven Military Friendly Employers survey from participating companies. The survey questions, methodology, criteria, and weightings are developed with the assistance of an independent research firm and an advisory council of educators and employers.
Data calculations and tabulations are independently evaluated for completeness and accuracy by Ernst & Young. The survey is administered for free and is open to companies that have hired veterans in the past 12 months.
