Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
Tulip Ltd 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 by publicising our Armed Forces Covenant on our website and displaying the Armed Forces Covenant logo.
- Striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partners by:
- Focus recruiting effort on the Armed Forces community, such as advertising through ‘service friendly’ recruitment agencies and service charities.
- Offer guaranteed interviews to spouses / partners if they have met the selection criteria laid out in a job advert.
- Commit to attempt to find alternative employment within the business in another location, if they need to move to accompany their partner.
- Endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment by:
- Looking sympathetically on requests for holidays before, during or after a partner’s overseas deployment, when the service person has leave to spend time with their family.
- Consider whether special paid leave is appropriate for employees who are bereaved or whose loved ones are injured.
- Seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible by:
- Accommodating our reservists’ training commitments wherever possible. (Normally over a number of weekends and a two-week training camp each weekend). Allowing them to take normal leave for this two-week camp. Considering additional requests for unpaid leave.
- Seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old by:
- Offering a bespoke programme for eligible Service leavers with Work Experience and Business Awareness
- Offering a guaranteed interview to veterans, young and old if they meet the criteria laid out in a job advert
- Support the employment, where appropriate, of wounded, injured or sick veterans through a guaranteed interview scheme
- Recognise military skills and qualifications when interviewing for new positions.
