Davies said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pleased to reconfirm our long-standing commitment to the Armed Forces and to supporting veterans, reservists and those with serving family members in the civilian workplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArmed Forces personnel bring a fantastic set of transferable skills to our industry, the pledges we\u2019ve committed to today will mean Kier continues to be a supportive workplace for those with a connection to the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an inclusive company, it\u2019s important everyone feels comfortable and can fulfil their potential and re-signing the

and I am delighted that this is set to continue following its resigning of the Armed Forces Covenant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith 12 new pledges, including Reservists and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers being offered additional leave to complete their training, it\u2019s clear Kier understands and is committed to supporting the talent and skills that so many of our Armed Forces personnel possess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrganisations like Kier are paving the way for the Armed Forces community, providing meaningful employment, inclusive policies and a progressive culture that allows them to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in 2020, Kier was re-awarded Gold by the Defence Employer Recognition (ERS) scheme for its work with the Armed Forces community.<\/p>\n<div
