Page 45: VETLANTA Q1 2016 Summit

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.

Page 46: VETLANTA Q1 2016 Summit

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.

Page 88: VETLANTA Q1 2016 Summit

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

Walter Thompson has been championing the evolution of Diversity and Inclusion, to

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:

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
