Covenant for Business
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve or who have served, and their families. Businesses and charitable organisations can sign the Armed Forces Covenant and in doing so publically make their own promises of support.
Support by employers to the Armed Forces community can take different shapes. It can be policies and projects that support their own employees who are members of the Armed Forces community such as setting up support networks for any reservists or veterans, or offering additional paid leave for reservists. It can be policies and projects that help the wider Armed Forces community such as working with the Career Transition Partnership to find greater positions for service leavers, employing and supporting Service spouses and partners or offering a discount to members of the Armed Forces community. All Armed Forces Covenants are to be signed by a person in authority who can ensure that commitments are implemented and maintained within the organisation, such as the CEO or HR Director. Covenants can also be co-signed by a member of the Armed Forces.
