The Employee Recognition Scheme Gold Awards are the highest badge of honour for employers who support those who serve, reservists and cadet force leaders, veterans, and their families.
To receive the honour employers must have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and proactively demonstrate their forces-friendly credentials as part of their recruiting and selection processes. This includes helping former military personnel transition to civilian life and support reservists to train and mobilise.
