This week (23-28 June), we’re celebrating Armed Forces Week, honouring those who have served or are currently serving our country.
Within M Group, we take pride in our active and growing Armed Forces community, with each person bringing unique skills and perspectives to our business.
We’re using this week to highlight some of the things you may not know about our Armed Forces community and how we support them across our business.
Did you know… we’re holders of the Gold Award for the Armed Forces Covenant
As holders of the Gold Award for the Armed Forces Covenant, we attend several Career Transition Partnership events a year, connecting with members of the Armed Forces community and sharing some of the exciting opportunities within our Group.
Did you know… we currently have 800 vacancies across our Group
With over 800 vacancies available across our Group, our talent acquisition team has been engaging with the Armed Forces community, providing guidance on what transferable skills may make them perfect for our roles, and offering support on navigating our hiring process.
Did you know… we currently have over 400 members of the Armed Forces community in roles across our business
With over 400 members of the Armed Forces community in roles across our business, we’re finding ways to bring support to those people.
Our initiatives, including our online GP Service, Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and ENABLE inclusion networks, are designed to create an environment where our Armed Forces community, and all our people, feel respected, valued and heard.
Did you know… 25 of our mental health first aiders come from a military background
Across our Group, 25 of our mental health first aiders, out of a total of 250, come from a military background. This lived experience offers a valuable resource that can help make sure other members of the community are well supported.
Speaking on our support of the Armed Forces community, Jen Goldsworthy, Talent Acquisition Lead, said: “With over 400 members of the Armed Forces community in our business, we understand how important they are to M Group as we continue to grow at pace.
“While we’re working hard to support new Armed Forces talent within our business, we’re also continuing to find ways to make sure that our existing community are well cared for.”
