Do you employ anyone from the Military community?


This includes Service Leavers, Veterans, Reservists, Cadet Adult Force Volunteers or Military spouses/partners. Then you could be eligible for a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) award.


The ERS is a three tiered scheme which encompasses bronze, silver and gold awards. These awards publicly recognise employers’ efforts to pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community, whilst aligning their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.


When speaking about the 2018 Gold ERS winners, Minister for Defence People and Veterans Tobias Ellwood said:


“The breadth and diversity of this year’s winners shows how business support for the armed forces continues to flourish. Their commitment is a testament to the fantastic contribution our serving personnel, veterans and their families can make to any organisation.


“We all have a role to play in ensuring that the armed forces community is not disadvantaged by service, and each of these employers is a setting an example as meaningful advocates for those protecting the nation.”


If you are a business operating within the West Midlands area,
