The ERS encourages employers to support defence and inspire others to do the same. The Armed Forces Covenant signals commitment to helping members of the armed forces community.
What is the Bronze Award?
The Bronze Award is given to employers who pledge support to Reservists (existing/prospective employees). Holders must be open to employing reservists and veterans, & uphold the values of the Covenant.
We’re thrilled to pledge our support to the armed forces. This recognition of our work in the defence sector is also much appreciated.
Why join the Defence Employer Scheme?
Partaking in the scheme you not only support the defence sector, but also reap a wide range of benefits within your business. Even at the most basic level, the sheer range of transferable skills which reservists and veterans bring to the workplace, developed over their military careers, holds immense value.
For instance, critical thinking, communication and the ability to perform under pressure can all be gleaned from a military career. So, why would you not want these qualities in your workforce? ARM and Optamor employ a number of individuals from prior defence careers in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and the British Army. Get involved!
