Defence Employer Recognition Scheme
Brodman Limited is awarded a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award Certificate.
We are delighted to report that we have received a Silver Award Certificate from the Ministry of Defence to recognise our pledge to support our armed forces.
Our organisation is committed to the growth and development of defence personnel and advocates for the armed forces community.
This certificate is evidence of our pledge to foster an environment where existing or serving community members can feel safe, grow and feel supported. We’re passionate about creating opportunities for this community and are honoured to have received this recognition.
We pledge to support defence personnel in a variety of ways, including:
-
Openness to hiring reservists and veterans of the armed forces, including the sick, injured and wounded
-
Openness to hiring the spouses or partners of cadets
-
Openness to hiring cadet instructors
-
The signing of the Armed Forces Covenant, which pledges that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or have served in the armed forces and their families should be treated fairly and with respect in the communities, economies and societies they serve
What is the Employer Recognition Scheme?
Launched in 2014, the scheme recognises those organisations that have explicitly expressed their intent to support defence personnel and encourage other organisations to do the same.
Brodman Limited hopes to contribute to a culture of respect, growth, and dignity for our armed forces community by signing up for the scheme.
What is the Silver award?
The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Silver Award is presented to organisations that go beyond the commitment required at Bronze level and actively demonstrate ongoing support for the Armed Forces community. To achieve Silver status, employers must show they are embedding supportive policies into their organisation, including fair recruitment practices, awareness of Armed Forces commitments within the workplace and practical support for Reservists and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers. This includes understanding mobilisation responsibilities, offering flexibility where required and providing additional support for training and service commitments.
Brodman is proud to have achieved the Silver Defence Employer Recognition Award. This reflects our continued commitment to supporting those who serve, have served, and their families, and to ensuring they are valued and fairly supported within our business.
