RESEARCH & IMPACT

Purpose Creates Value. Culture Makes It Real.

Organizations increasingly compete on more than products, compensation, and benefits. Employees and customers also experience a company's culture, purpose, and the causes it chooses to support.

For organizations committed to America's veterans, that commitment can become more than a social initiative. When integrated into workforce strategy, employee engagement, leadership, and community action, veteran culture can become part of the business value proposition.

The Business Case for Purpose & Veteran Culture

Greater Employee Engagement

Employees with a strong sense of purpose at work are 5.6 times as likely to be engaged as employees reporting low work purpose.


Veteran Work Ethic

68% of HR professionals surveyed by the SHRM Foundation said veterans outperform civilian employees in work ethic; 61% cited teamwork and 58% leadership.


Higher Profitability 23%

Gallup's broader employee-engagement research finds highly engaged business units outperform less-engaged units across outcomes including productivity, retention, customer loyalty, and profitability.


Culture Can Strengthen Brand Trust

In Edelman's 2025 brand research, 73% said their trust in a brand would increase when it authentically reflects today's culture. Edelman also found brand trust has become an important purchase consideration alongside price and quality.


The opportunity: connect authentic veteran commitment with the workforce, culture, community, and business strategy rather than treating it as a once-a-year recognition effort.

Where Veteran Commitment Can Create Value

ATTRACT

Strengthen Employer Brand

A credible veteran culture can demonstrate organizational values to veterans, military families, employees, candidates, and communities.

ENGAGE

Create Meaningful Employee Experiences

VERGs, education, mentoring, community initiatives, and veteran-focused resources create additional ways for employees to connect with the organization and its mission.

RETAIN

Build Culture & Belonging

Veteran-ready practices can help employees better understand military experience, connect with peers, access resources, and see organizational commitment translated into action.

GROW

Strengthen Community & Market Relationships

Authentic veteran engagement can create relationships with veteran organizations, military families, community leaders, employers, and businesses serving the military community.

What Leading Companies Are Doing

STARBUCKS

STARBUCKS

STARBUCKS

Starbucks reports hiring more than 45,000 veterans and military spouses through 2025 and operates more than 250 Military Family Stores. Its military strategy also includes military service pay, community grants, and partnerships supporting military families.

Business lesson: veteran commitment becomes more credible when it is integrated into employment, employee support, community presence, and the customer experience.

VERIZON

STARBUCKS

STARBUCKS

 Verizon says more than 6,000 veterans are part of its workforce. Its VALOR employee community focuses on veterans, military families, service, community, and connection, alongside military recruiting and employee-support programs.

Business lesson: recruiting veterans is only the beginning. Culture, community, employee development, and ongoing engagement help turn military hiring into a broader workforce strategy.

AMAZON

STARBUCKS

AMAZON

Amazon's military workforce programs include an 18-month Military Ambassador onboarding program, structured military mentoring, the employee-led Warriors at Amazon community, and partnerships with organizations such as Hiring Our Heroes.

Business lesson: veteran-ready organizations intentionally support employees beyond the point of hire.

Moving From Veteran-Friendly to Veteran-Ready

Recognition creates visibility. Strategy creates sustainability.

The SHRM Foundation found organizations with formal veteran recruiting and hiring programs reported substantially greater effectiveness at hiring veterans than organizations without formal programs—65% versus 21% in its 2024 research. 


SAVE helps organizations move veteran commitment beyond symbolic recognition and integrate it into workforce strategy, education, employee engagement, partnerships, and community impact.
