Communities
Support for service veterans
We place a lot of value on our country’s veterans and reservists. To help us find
and attract the best candidates, we actively engage with the Career Transition
Partnership (CTP), enabling us to take part in regional events to ensure we
connect with service leavers before they enter civilian life. We are proud of our
Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award and reinforce this through our actions to
ensure we remain an employer of first choice for many ex-service personnel.
We have almost a thousand ex-service colleagues in the Group and this year
recruited an additional 240, working in disciplines such as SHEQ roles, project
management, human resources and as part of operational resources on our many
contracts across all our divisions. Together, they make up a supportive
and connected community.
Armed Forces colleagues can access to their own area in our ‘Stay Connected’ intranet
space to enable them to remain in touch with each other as part of a community within
our wider Group. This is a space where veterans and reservists can share photos and stories
from their time in the Armed Forces, access useful resources for support and information,
and connect with people from across the Group who have also served or are currently
serving in a reservist capacity.
