With the upcoming Armed Forces Day, Healix is proud to announce that it has received the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme bronze award from the Ministry of Defence, recognising its commitment and support for defence personnel.

The accolade comes after Healix recently signed the Armed Forces Covenant in a voluntary commitment to support those who serve or have served in the armed forces.

Equal access

The Covenant ensures that current and past defence personnel and their families are treated fairly and respectfully. It serves as a mutual agreement between the nation and serving communities, recognising that all members of the Armed Forces Community should receive equal access to public and commercial services.

The Covenant also ensures that they and their families receive the special treatment or support they may require as a result of being injured or bereaved during army service.

Military skills and qualifications

Healix has pledged support towards facilitating the employment of veterans

As a new member of the Armed Forces Community, Healix has also pledged its support towards facilitating the employment of veterans and vows to recognise all military skills and qualifications in its recruitment and selection processes.

This will, in part, including working closely with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) to support service leavers and their spouses and partners in finding employment through the relevant job forums.

Leave flexibility 

Once they are in employment, Healix will also help service spouses and partners by allowing more flexibility when granting leave before, during, and after their partner’s deployment.

Other ways in which Healix will continue to support the community include participating in national events such as Poppy Appeal Day, providing employees who are members of the Reserve Forces or volunteer leaders with additional leave for annual training camps and courses, sometimes on a paid basis, as well as helping charities and staff with their fundraising efforts.

Commitment recognition

Signing the Armed Forces Covenant demonstrates Healix’s long-standing alignment with the values of the Armed Forces and its Community, recognising the dedication of serving personnel, reservists, veterans, and military families to our country," said Kate Cleminson, HR Director at Healix.

Kate Cleminson adds, "We are honoured to have received the bronze award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme which further corroborates this commitment. ”
