The team at Risk Evolves has achieved the Armed Forces Gold Award in the 2024 Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme.
Commitment to the Armed Forces Community
The Warwickshire-based business is an Armed Forces-friendly employer, having employed several members of ex-Army personnel and championing the recruitment of those returning to civilian life. This commitment aligns with the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which Risk Evolves proudly supports.
Understanding the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme
The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support defence and inspire others to do the same. Organisations can achieve bronze, silver, or gold awards for pledging, demonstrating, or advocating support to defence and the Armed Forces community. The prestigious Gold Award was achieved by only 193 organisations this year.
Helen Barge, Managing Director at Risk Evolves, said:
“It is an absolute honour to receive the Gold Award, which emphasises our commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community. We will proudly display our Gold Award as a testament to our continued commitment to the Armed Forces community.”
Military Mentorship Initiative
Risk Evolves launched its Military Mentorship initiative with the Armed Forces in 2022, offering Service members preparing to leave the military a chance to shadow Risk Evolves staff.
“Our hope is that this approach can be replicated by other businesses, offering even more opportunities to former Service members,” added Helen.
Transferring Military Skills to Commercial Roles
The Military Mentorship scheme shows soon-to-be veterans how their skills, acquired through years of military experience, can be transferred to roles in the commercial sector.
Risk Evolves' Journey to Gold
Risk Evolves achieved ERS Silver in 2023 and the team will officially receive the Gold Award in late October at a special MoD ceremony.
The multi-award-winning risk management firm, based in Leamington Spa, supports hundreds of businesses to manage their risk, including navigating data privacy, compliance, sustainability, health and safety, and information security.
