Approach
www.vydandassociates.com
WVER project focused on a
review of the literature
(academic, government,
policy research) regarding
women veterans’
demographics, employment
and unemployment,
occupations and earnings,
marital and parental status,
health and disability, and
socioeconomic status,
including homelessness.
The review process included
more than 275 articles,
reports, briefs, and other
resources. The information
found during this review was
analyzed to provide an
overview of labor market
characteristics of women
veterans, the challenges
women veterans face
compared to men veterans,
and to identify gaps in
published data as well as
directions for future research.
Focus on identifying gaps in available research and factors
impacting women veterans in the labor market.
Key Findings
www.vydandassociates.com
Gender-differentiated data
• Many studies and evaluation of
services do not differentiate by
gender.
• Difficult to identify issues and
trends unique to women
veterans.
Demographics
• Women veterans are younger,
more diverse and more likely to
be single parents than their male
counterparts.
• Detailed comparisons including
demographics and impact on
employment not available.
Employment Best Practice
• Majority of women veterans are
doing well.
• Gulf War II era veterans have
higher unemployment than
male peers.
• Need to understand what
majority of women veterans are
doing well.
Identification & Utilization
• Women veterans less likely to
publically identify as veterans
than male peers.
• Women veterans less likely to
utilize services designed to
assist veterans.

Eaton Vet staffing results and plans
For 2015 we established a goal of having 7% of
our 2015 US hires be a military veteran—we
achieved 8%.
Our plan is to maintain or exceed this goal in 2016
We are looking to implement some processes
similar to our Early Talent (college campus
recruiting) Programs and apply it to our military
hiring initiative in 2016

2016 Veterans InitiativesJ. Walter Thompson South/West
Presented to Vetlanta
January 27, 2016
Founded by a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, our history as a company has
forged an enduring bond with the military community, including active duty, reserve,
veterans, and their families.
• JWT support efforts and initiatives are organized into three primary areas:
• Active Business Initiatives
• Diversity and Inclusion
• Pro Bono Initiatives
• Our 2015 activities supported the above areas and set the stage for continued
progress in 2016:
• Initiated a new contract with the Marine Corps for Recruitment Advertising
• Published a North American Diversity and Inclusion Plan that specifically
recognizes Veterans as a D&I priority for J. Walter Thompson
• Continued Veteran hiring efforts, retaining two new veteran employees
• Expanded pro bono support for Veteran Non-Profits, establishing a Veteran Pro
Bono platform
• The Veteran Platform approach allowed for broader support in the VNP
category vs. limitations imposed by case-by-case annual relationships
J. Walter Thompson Co. – Over 150 Years

As JWT approaches 70 years of active support for the United States
Marine Corps, we have expanded our efforts to benefit the veteran

include the inherently diverse and progressive cohort of young veterans in the US.
• In Q3 2015, J. Walter Thompson North America published a strategic plan for
Diversity and Inclusion that included Veterans as one of the five pillars for outreach,
attraction and engagement
• For 2016, the J. Walter Thompson D&I plan calls for the following specific initiatives:
• Posting a minimum of five jobs on the Hire Heroes USA job board to increase
our reach and opportunity to bring more veterans aboard with JWT
• Posting additional job opportunities on RecruitMilitary.com and the LinkedIn
Veteran Mentor Network
• Providing facilities and personnel support to veteran transition activities

Diversity and InclusionRecognizing the Evolution of D&I and Leading the Way
For 2016, JWT Atlanta has established a Veteran Platform to guide pro bono efforts.
Specific initiatives will include ongoing support to three Veteran Non-Profits whose

McKesson Military Resource Group
For the third year, a
group known as the
Shepherd’s Men, will
run to raise awareness
for the most common
injuries affecting
returning troops since
2001, Traumatic Brain
Injury (TBI) and Post
Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD).
One in five service men and women
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan need
treatment for these devastating
conditions. Though undetectable visually,
TBI and PTSD devastate service members
and the families who suffer with them,
often leading to broken homes and suicide
Thank You
