Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
Softcat PLC recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:
• promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation; • Softcat would proudly display our commitment through signature of the Armed Forces Covenant on our website, we will also include it on a number of collaterals and email signatures within our verticalized Defence Team. • A communication will be sent to all employees to state and reinforce our commitment, with a number of updates, detailing actions we are taking to support the Armed Forces in accordance with the Covenant. • We are forming an internal Company-wide group for Veterans, Reservists and those working with Cadet units to share experiences and provide support for each other. • seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old and working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers; • Softcat already welcome Veterans and Reservists as employees. • The Company will actively engage with CTP to explore new ways to engage with those looking to pursue a civilian career within the IT sector. • We will always offer interviews to those candidates that have the most suitable qualifications and background and we have a very active Diversity Policy to encourage and attract the widest range of potential talent. • striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partners; • The Company currently employs family members of those serving and is well positioned to accommodate their needs by offering flexible and remote working. Our people are our most important asset and by catering, wherever practicable, to their needs our experience is that they remain happy and productive. • endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment; • Softcat understand the pressure on families during deployment and will always try to accommodate the needs of our employees. In these trying circumstances, the business will always try to work with our employees to ensure they are able to take leave, work flexibly or move to another one of our UK branch offices to accompany their partner. • seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible; • Softcat already employs Reservists and values the additional skills they bring to the workplace. • The Company offers an additional week of unpaid leave to assist with training requirements and will engage fully with the Armed Forces should any of our Reservists be required to deploy. • aiming to actively participate in Armed Forces Day; • All employees are to be informed on Armed Forces Day of the significance of the commitment we have made. Veterans, Reservists and those working with Cadets will be present and visible in the offices to share their experiences and reinforce the message to all. ▪ Monitoring the Commitment.
