Following on from our post where we signed The Armed Forces Covenant, we have now received the ‘Bronze Award’ for the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.
The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support defence and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses bronze, silver and gold awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.
The ERS is designed primarily to recognise private sector support although public sector organisations such as the emergency services, local authorities, NHS trusts and executive agencies are also eligible to be recognised.
David Taylor KAW’s Health & Safety Manager is now working towards KAW receiving the Silver Award. Good luck with this David!
