DM Habens The Builder Ltd

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

We signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2021 and recognise that those leaving the armed forces may be disadvantaged in terms of securing meaningful employment and adjusting to a civilian environment. We want to be a great employer with outstanding leadership and a talented, agile workforce. We believe that a diverse range of talent is vital in creating an effective workforce who can bring different skills and experiences to the table. We also recognise the contribution that members of the armed forces community can make to its staff group in terms of the soft skills, attributes and values they bring to the organisation. We are commited to supporting veterans, the reserve forces and cadet force adult instructors, work experience schemes and support for spouses/partners of serving regulars and reservists by providing additional leave, a flexible working policy and a Time off for dependent’s policy along with support and guidance from the Armed Forces Network – Hampshire Division.
