Armed Forces Covenant
We recognise the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:
路聽Promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation by
路聽Publicising our Corporate Covenant on our websites and in our literature,
路聽Promoting our support for the Armed Forces throughout our business,
路聽Endorsing membership of Reserve Forces across the business and in recruitment activity
路聽Seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old.
路聽We have recruited and will continue to recruit from the community of veteran鈥檚 service personnel. They are valued within the business and have achieved positions of responsibility within the organisation. We recognise that they bring a valuable skill set that complements our philosophy of putting people at the centre of our business,
路聽We will participate in the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) by advertising vacancies with them and will endeavour to attend recruiting events organised by CTP.
路聽Striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partner:
路聽海角大神 values the skill sets within this community. We already recruit partners of those in Service and we will continue to do so.
路聽Endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner鈥檚 deployment:
路聽海角大神 fully understand the additional strain placed upon families through the deployment of service personnel. Consequently, 海角大神 will consider flexibility in leave for spouses and partners both pre and post operational deployments
路聽Compassionate and bereavement leave is available for spouse/partners dealing with difficult circumstances
路聽Seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible:
路聽We understand the increasingly important role of the Reserves and will actively promote the Reserve forces to our workforce.
路聽We understand Reservists commitment and the benefits for both them and the team鈥檚 developments. Consequently, we will allow for two additional weeks of paid leave for colleagues who are members of the Reserves so that they can complete their training and still enjoy the opportunity to holiday with their friends and family.
We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and the racing community on how we are doing.
