The Armed Forces Covenant: Proud To Support Those Who Serve

 

I first signed the Armed Forces Covenant when I was MD at Caterpillar Defence.

And I was proud to do so.

If you’re unaware of the Armed Forces Covenant, it is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.

Businesses can sign up and decide what they want to pledge. Often, it’s a pledge to be a forces friendly employer and to be flexible to the unique situations to the wider armed forces community.

Think about the qualities our service people and veterans offer.

They are:

  • Highly trained

  • Adaptable

  • Problem Solvers

  • Team players

  • Hardworking

They are also used to working in fast paced environments, have grit and resilience and perform well under pressure.

 
 

Why wouldn’t you want these people working in and for your organisation?

Signing up to the Armed Forces Covenant was an easy decision…. but it wasn’t an obvious one when I started Mauriteft Consulting.

Earlier this year, three months into my new business, I was encouraging a client to sign up by explaining how it could improve their labour pool.

They pointed out that I could do the same.

I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before.

So, now I’m pointing it out to you too.

Whatever the size of your business, you can sign the Armed Forces Covenant. All businesses are welcome.

I’m proud to support those who serve or have served.

As Mauriteft Consulting grows, I pledge to continually review the opportunities open to veterans and service people in my business.

After all, why wouldn’t you want to work with such impressive people?
