We have been proud to support the programme and have recently demonstrated the requirements for a Silver Award from the Armed Forces Covenant. It encourages employers to actively engage with applications from servicemen and servicewomen as part of the recruitment process, as well as supporting Reservists. Aligning with the Armed Forces Covenant, the programme encourages employers to support defence personnel and inspire others to do the same. With the last point in mind, we are delighted to support transition programmes such as the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. Given the diverse roles available, it is critical that we recruit the best candidates and don’t exclude talent pools with directly relevant transferable skills.Įmbracing the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme During a recent brainstorming session, we identified over 50 different job roles that are directly related to the construction industry, from site managers, to IT analysts to communications professionals. To ensure we continue to benefit from the togetherness, problem solving and collaborative approach we come to expect from an inclusive business, it is critical that we adopt these values throughout the recruitment process. In February we placed 5 th on The Sunday Times’ 100 Best Companies to Work For, this was followed in June by achieving a top 50 spot in The Times’ Top 50 Employers for Women.
Over the past few years, we have been delighted to see these cultural values recognised by third parties.
Inclusivity and diversity are at the heart of our business and we firmly believe that embracing these attributes leads to flourishing company culture. Each year at Willmott Dixon we celebrate National Inclusion Week, a week designed to celebrate everyday inclusion in all its forms.
