Development and Evaluation of Veteran Supportive Supervisor Training (VSST): Improving Reintegration of the Oregon National Guard and Reserves in the Workplace
Abstract
The funded research project, Study for Employment Retention of Veterans (SERVe), addresses reintegration and retention in the civilian workforce, among post-9/11 era veterans. The main goal of the proposed study is to develop and test the effectiveness of a Veteran Supportive Supervisory Training (VSST), a supervisor training and behavioral self-monitoring designed to increase supervisor support for veterans. Much of Year 1 has been devoted to the development of study protocol materials, presenting information about the study to stakeholders across the state of Oregon, and on recruitment of our first group of employers, all in anticipation for data collection that begins in March, 2014. We have garnered exceptional support every step of the way and including statements of support from the Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber, Former Governor Ted Kulongoski, Oregon National Guard Adjutant General Daniel Hokanson, Multnomah County Task Force on Veteran Affairs, and Cameron Smith, Director, Oregon Department of Veteran's Affairs. We are pleased to report that we have accomplished all study activities in Year 1.
