Michael Gove, MP for Surrey Heath, is delighted that Frimley Health has been recognised by the MOD’s Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, winning a Gold Award.
This award is the highest badge of honour given to employers, and recognises the positive role that employers play in supporting the Armed Forces community.
To win a Gold Award from the Ministry of Defence, organisations must provide 10 extra paid days leave for reservists, and have supportive HR policies in place for reservists, veterans, Cadet Force adult volunteers and the spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces.
They must also advocate the benefits of supporting those within the Armed Forces community, by encouraging other organisations to sign the Armed Forces Covenant and engage with the Employer Recognition Scheme.
Michael Gove commented:
“Frimley Health should be so proud to have achieved such high recognition, and I am hugely grateful to all the support provided to the Armed Forces community here in Surrey Heath.”
