Your Ticket Number: CXXXXXXX
We recently contacted your business about participating in the "2010 Department of Defense
National Survey of Employers.” This survey explores the needs and best practices in supporting
businesses (public, private, and non-profit) that have employed or might employ National Guard
and Reserve service members. The survey will ask questions about hiring and staffing issues,
especially around service member employee absences for extended periods of time. During our
telephone call, it was suggested you might be the best person to answer these questions. While
participation is voluntary, your opinions are very important. I assure you the survey will not ask
for any financial information and your responses will be kept private to the extent permitted by
law.

Deleted: Only group statistics will be
reported.

The paper version of the survey should arrive shortly. If you prefer, you may take the survey on
the Web. The survey is now available at this Web site: https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/dodsurvey
Simply click on the address above to go directly to the Web site. If this does not work, “copy

For your convenience, DMDC has set up a telephone line for anyone who wishes to verify the
survey's legitimacy. Call 1-703-696-7427 for a list of current data collections by licensed

This is your chance to have your business’ experiences and perspectives included in the design
of policies and programs to make the employment of service members more productive and
convenient for both employers and service members. We would still like to hear from your
business even if you do not currently employ any service members. The survey should take
about 10-30 minutes to complete.
