Traffix are proud to announce that the business has won the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award for 2022.
Representing the highest badge of honour, Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Awards are awarded to those that employ and support those who serve, veterans and their families.
The Employer Recognition Scheme was launched in 2014 by the then Prime Minister David Cameron to recognise employer support for the wider principles of the Armed Forces Covenant and the full spectrum of Defence personnel. This includes the Reserves, service leavers, cadets, spouses and wounded, injured and sick.
Traffix has a community of ex-forces colleagues and reservists, the company understands what makes a service leaver tick – a disciplined environment, the ability to work through the ranks and using initiative when in the field. But most of all Traffix offer a replacement family, a place of work where a service leaver will feel at home.
To win an award, organisations must provide 10 extra paid days leave for Reservists and have supportive HR policies in place for veterans, Reserves, and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, as well as spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces.
Organisations must also advocate the benefits of supporting those within the Armed Forces community by encouraging others to sign the Armed Forces Covenant and engage in the Employer Recognition Scheme.
Winning the ERS Gold Award is extra special for Traffix Operations Director Derek Vinning “As a former member of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, I know that the support we give to service leavers goes above and beyond. It means a lot to me, our passion and support will never waver.”
Kerry Draper is Health, Safety and Facilities Director at Traffix: “We have worked very hard to win this award, it is something we are all proud of at Traffix. It set’s us apart from other Traffic Management companies and reinforces our commitment to those who have served and continue to serve.”
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly. More information about the Armed Forces Covenant and how to get involved is available here ››
