The Disabled Veterans Talent Survey
Identifies Concerns and Attitudes of Employers and Job
Seekers on Hiring and the Workplace
DAV (Disabled American Veterans) along with Monster (NYSE: MWW),
a global leader in connecting people to jobs, and its subsidiary
Military.com, today released findings from the new Disabled
Veterans Talent Survey, one of the first analyses of hiring and
workplace experiences for disabled veterans.
Employers who have hired a veteran are positive about the
experience—73 percent of respondents report that their company has
made a commitment to hiring veterans. While 81 percent feel their
company is a positive place for disabled veterans to work, nearly
half (45 percent) of employers surveyed feel their work environment
is not appropriate for veterans with disabilities, and 30 percent
have concerns about veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD). As for disabled veterans, 84 percent feel employers are
accommodating of their disabilities, but only 38 percent have
disclosed their disabilities on a job application.
“The survey confirms that we must do more to educate employers
about hiring veterans with disabilities, while also helping
veterans feel more confident when job seeking,” said Jeff Hall,
DAV’s National Employment Director. “The Disabled Veterans Talent
Survey is an important step in shedding light on the fact that a
veteran’s disability is often a factor in hiring, yet companies
that hire disabled veterans report it is a productive and positive
experience.”
The Disabled Veterans Talent Survey is a subset of the Veterans
Talent Index (VTI), conducted annually by Monster and Military.com.
For the first time, it included nearly a dozen questions
specifically pertaining to veterans with disabilities. The VTI will
be released by Monster and Military.com on November 7.
“This is the first time since the inception of the Veterans
Talent Index that we asked questions specifically geared toward
disabled veterans,” said Greg Smith, President of Military.com and
a retired Navy admiral. “Service members are returning to civilian
life after multiple tours of duty and often surviving extraordinary
personal challenges. We wanted to partner with DAV to help America
understand what our injured and ill veterans face in the civilian
workplace.”
Other key findings include:
Disabled Veterans’ Perspective on Job Hunting:
- Sixty-five percent of respondents
believe their service-connected disability has required them to
change career paths.
- When it comes to their disability, 78
percent of the service members and veterans surveyed do not feel it
impacts their value as an employee. Sixty-six percent agree their
disability impacts their physical ability only.
- Of the respondents who indicated they
have a disability, 66 percent say it is visibly apparent.
Employers Perspective on Hiring Disabled Veterans:
- Of employers who have hired disabled
veterans, 81 percent believe their company is a positive and
productive workplace. Seventy-four percent believe it has been a
positive experience for the company.
- Seventy-three percent of employers
surveyed say their company has confidential resources available to
veterans if they need to seek help.
- Seventy-five percent of employers have
confidential resources for managers to help their veteran
employees.
Monster and Military.com used an online panel of 569
service-member and veteran respondents supplied by Survey Sampling
International, 388 of whom reported having a disability.
Additionally, 583 employers who recently hired a veteran
participated in the survey. The margin of error is +/- 4.1 percent.
Respondents to the survey are veterans who have been out of the
military for less than five years, active duty service members who
plan to leave the military within the next year, and employers who
have hired at least one veteran in the past year.
Monster and Military.com established the Veterans Talent Index
in the fall of 2011 to provide an ongoing and quantifiable metric
of employment conditions for transitioning service members. Past
surveys have provided information and perspective on topics
including why post 9/11 veterans faced a higher unemployment rate,
the barriers to connecting veteran job seekers with employers eager
to hire them, and how location could impact a veteran’s ability to
find a job.
