To support the Armed Forces community, Phenna Group has signed the Armed Forces Covenant. The pledge underscores Phenna Group's commitment to ensuring that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces and their families are treated with fairness and respect within the workplace and the community.
Phenna Group, a global testing, inspection, certification, and compliance services provider, joins a growing list of businesses and organisations committed to the Armed Forces Covenant. The signing ceremony took place at the CTS Leicester Laboratory, with key executives and representatives from the Armed Forces in attendance.
Paul Barry, Founder and Executive Chairman of Phenna Group, expressed the company's motivation behind this commitment. "At Phenna Group, we recognise the invaluable skills, experience, and dedication that Armed Forces members bring to our society. By signing the Armed Forces Covenant, we are showing our appreciation and ensuring that we actively support veterans, service members, and their families. This commitment is deeply rooted in our core values of integrity, respect, and community support."
The Armed Forces Covenant is a pledge made by businesses, local authorities, charities, and other organisations to ensure that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces and their families are treated fairly. This can include various support measures, from ensuring access to healthcare and financial services to providing employment opportunities and training programs.
Paul further elaborated on the practical steps Phenna Group will take to honour this commitment. "We are implementing initiatives to support the recruitment and development of veterans and reservists within our organisation. This includes tailored career development programs, mentoring, and flexible working arrangements to accommodate service members and their family's unique needs. Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive environment where their contributions are recognised and valued."
The signing of the Armed Forces Covenant by Phenna Group is a testament to the company's dedication to social responsibility and its recognition of the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces community. With close to 50 ex service personnel working across the Phenna Group, the initiative is expected to foster greater understanding and support for service members and veterans within the company and the wider community.
As Phenna Group takes this significant step, it sets an example for other businesses to follow, highlighting the importance of supporting those who have dedicated their lives to serving the country. The company's commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant is not just a symbolic gesture but a promise of tangible support and recognition for the Armed Forces community.
