Last week Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance (RSA) became a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant – a government-backed scheme that advocates for the unique needs of those within the Armed Forces community.
They are committed to being an Armed Forces-friendly employer, supporting those who are currently serving, have served in the past or those who have serving family members. The signing also marks the launch of the RSA Armed Forces Employee Resource Group, further strengthening their commitment and support. These two initiatives will help guide the RSA shaping their internal policies, recruitment practices and championing the causes and needs of Armed Forces affiliated colleagues.
Lt I Dawes, who currently serves as an Army Reservist in the Royal Corps of Signals and is a Project Manager at RSA said:
“We’re delighted to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, which acts as an important conduit between the civilian and military spheres. It marks a significant milestone in our understanding of this extended community and recognises the extraordinary contribution of those involved in military duty.
“By signing the Covenant, we’re proving our commitment to support the Armed Forces community, ensuring we have the right people in place to create ongoing guidance and policy for families, partners, veterans, and those serving. I’m proud RSA is a military friendly employer, with a supportive and enabling environment for the armed forces community.”
