Project Details
About the project
Now in its sixth edition, America’s Best Employers for Veterans 2025 was created using feedback from professionals throughout the US and a detailed methodology to evaluate companies. The project was created with the goal of shedding light on employers that truly support veterans and helping former service members identify workplaces where they can thrive.
Feedback from over 17,000 veteran employees was gathered via an independent online survey. Respondents were asked to give feedback on both their own employer and other employers in their industry. Key aspects to making a great workplace for veterans, such as Atmosphere, Development, Salary, Company Image, Company Culture, Working Conditions, and Workplace Environment, were considered.
To be eligible for the ranking, companies had to employ more than 1,000 people within the US. 1,300 companies in total were shortlisted for analysis. The final list recognizes 150 top employers for veterans in the US, grouped into 25 industries.
Scoring
Identifying the top veteran employers
Our scoring model uses independently collected survey data from veteran employees in the US. The data is divided into several assessment dimensions.
Direct score
On a scale of 0 to 10, respondents indicated how likely they were to recommend their own employer to friends or family – with 0 being the least likely and 10 being the most.
Indirect score
Respondents indicated the industry they work in. Based on this, each respondent is shown a selection of employers active in a given sector. Respondents can then voluntarily recommend or advise against employers from the list.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating employer rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the America’s Best Employers for Veterans 2025 methodology.
01 Concept
For our employment projects, we evaluate and rank the world’s leading employers, highlighting organizations that excel in fostering positive work environments and sustainable growth. Our rankings help job seekers make informed career choices while providing companies with a benchmark to assess their standing in the global job market.
02 Data Collection
For data collection, our team of analysts creates detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. By working with leading online access panels worldwide, suitable participants are identified and surveyed independently of potentially awarded employer brands. Survey responses are then checked for quality and validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
03 Evaluation
To evaluate the data, we apply a scoring model that combines direct feedback on the participants’ own employers with indirect feedback on other employers within their professional fields.
04 Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer, company information is researched and eligibility for the list is confirmed. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
