Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Vodafone are proud to renew our commitment to supporting the servicemen and women who protect our nation by re-signing the Armed Forces Covenant. As a signatory, Vodafone pledge to honour those who serve or have served in the military and their families in several ways. For example, we champion the employment of service personnel, and help to re-integrate veterans back into civilian life through paths into employment designed for Service Leavers.

We originally signed the covenant in 2015 when we made the commitments to:

  • Pledging to implement flexible working conditions for members of staff who are reservists, to enable them to continue their training and be deployed on exercise when needed by the Ministry of Defence (MoD)
  •  Creating a talent network via a dedicated HM Forces recruitment portal, to encourage the recruitment of ex-service personnel and Reservists in tandem with Career Transition Partnership (CTP). The MoD’s official provider of Armed Forces Resettlement, CTP also provides a free recruitment service for employers wishing to hire ex-military personnel
  • Enabling armed forces families who are posted overseas to suspend their UK mobile contracts for two years, with separate arrangements for those who will be deployed for more than two years.

As part of the re-signing,Vodafone will commit to actions such as:

  • Offering work placements facilitated by our current Armed Forces employee community
  • Encouraging the expansion and development of our Armed Forces Employee Network for service leaver alumni, reservists, employees with family members in the Armed Forces and those interested in taking an active role in supporting the Covenant pledges
  • Actively seeking to champion the benefits of employing ex and current military personnel via our Careers website, case studies, and communications within Vodafone.
