The Adecco Group’s Commitment to Support the Armed Forces Community and Their Families

Armed Forces Covenant

The Adecco Group’s Commitment to Support the Armed Forces Community and Their Families

At the Adecco Group, we recognise the value that serving personnel, reservists, veterans, and military families bring to our business, our clients’ businesses, and the country.

As such, we are proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant – a promise that no member of the armed forces community should face disadvantage compared to any other citizen.

Speaking about this defining moment, Niki Turner-Harding, Senior Vice President of Adecco UK & Ireland, said:

Signing the Armed Forces Covenant demonstrates our promise to actively support those who serve or have served, and their families, in our business. It is a way to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives because of their military service. In other words, it’s part of our purpose-led vision of making the future work for everyone.

Niki Turner-Harding, Senior Vice President, Adecco UK & Ireland

We will seek to uphold the principles of the Covenant by:

Introducing an Armed Forces Champion to help promote the fact that we are an Armed Forces-friendly organisation to our staff, customers, suppliers, and the public.
Creating a training module on transferrable skills to aid in recognising military skills and qualifications and supporting the employment of veterans and service leavers.
Providing flexibility in granting leave around deployment to support the employment of service spouses and partners.
Providing a buddy system for reservists and veterans to support our employees who are members of the Reserve Forces.
Granting additional leave for members of the Reserve Forces and volunteer cadet organisation leaders to attend training and other commitments.
Encouraging members of staff to become Reservists and volunteer leaders in cadet organisations.
Supporting national events such as Armed Forces Day, Reserves Day, the Poppy Appeal Day, and Remembrance activities.
Supporting staff who volunteer for Armed Forces Charities and acknowledging them through our Changemakers Circle.

Signed,
