I think it's important to recognize that the VEVRAA ONLY APPLIES to
organizations operating under non-exempt Federal Contractor status, with
awarded contracts (or subcontracts) of $25k or greater.

And I don't see anywhere that it addresses surveys regarding privacy topics
with employees, even of these specific contractors... it's more about hiring
and firing policies.

Most surveys aren't intended to gather responses of individuals, but rather
to gauge the knowledge of a group of individuals, so they shouldn't be able
to be tied back to each respondent individually. I would think the HR
department or the Training department would be where these would be kept...
not in individual personnel files.

In many organizations, training records are kept outside of the personnel
file, as the retention period for them differs from many/most other
personnel records. And from my experience, depending on if the training is
required by some regulatory agency or is self-directed, the retention
periods can cover a wide range of time.
