The Study for Employment Retention of Veterans (SERVe) is a randomized controlled trial,
available exclusively to Oregon employers of veterans. It is designed to develop and
scientifically evaluate Veteran-supportive supervisor training (VSST) that may enhance
retention of veterans, with the goal of improving workplace culture and general well-being to
our service members. The intervention, applied to workplace supervisors, will be measured by
experience of veterans, assessing workplace experiences, health, well-being, as well as
employees' spouse/partners' family experiences, health and well-being, and workplace
outcomes.

The overall goal of the Study for Employment Retention of Veterans (SERVe) study is to
improve health and well-being of current and former service members employed in participating
Oregon organizations. The SERVe Study seeks to do this by training supervisors to support
veteran employees by focusing on a reduction in work-life stress while increasing supportive
supervisor behavior.

The SERVe Study proposes that supervisor supportiveness can influence workplace experience,
health, and well-being of service members, as well as of their families.

The investigators of the SERVe Study expect positive results for study participants,
including reduced stress and increased social support, reduction in negative workplace
experiences, and improvement in family well-being outcomes. Longer term, these effects are
expected to create a more supportive work environment, which has positive effects on safety,
health, well-being, family, and organizational outcomes.

Veteran participants are measured at baseline, three months, and nine months. Veteran spouses
are invited to participate as well. Married and cohabitating veterans and their partners are
invited to participate in the Daily Family Study (DFS), a 32-day daily diary survey after
baseline and at six months.
