Recognition & Commitment

Accreditation

We guide organisations through the Defence Employers Recognition scheme—from initial application to achieving coveted Gold status. Our expertise helps you gain formal recognition for your commitment to the Armed Forces community and maximize the benefits of participation.

Successful Integration

Employer Advisory

We provide specialised guidance to businesses in two areas. Our advisory services help businesses create tailored employment programs for ex-Services personnel, from executive-level integration to comprehensive support for new veteran cohorts at all organisational levels. We also enable and support secondments and other forms of experience and participation from business to defence and vice-versa.

Military to Civilian

Individual Transition

We offer targeted support for Armed Forces members navigating civilian career transitions. Our selective response approach addresses the unique challenges faced by service personnel entering the business world, helping individuals leverage their military experience effectively.

Meaningful Impact

Social Value

We advise both private and public sector organisations on embedding meaningful social value in defence-related initiatives. Our guidance helps you develop sustainable strategies that create positive impact while strengthening relationships across the defence ecosystem.

Accreditation & Employer Advisory

"Manufacturing Company Achieves Gold Status"

Challenge

A medium-sized manufacturing company with 250+ employees wanted to strengthen ties with the Armed Forces community and achieve Gold-level recognition, but lacked the internal expertise to navigate the process.

Solution

D Impact provided step-by-step guidance through the Defence Employers Recognition scheme requirements, helped develop an Armed Forces engagement policy, and established an effective veteran onboarding programme.

Outcome

The company achieved Gold status within 18 months, hired 15 veterans in key skilled positions, and saw improved retention across their workforce.

"It is increasingly clear that two way traffic, sharing human capital and skills between Business and the Armed Forces will be a key component of the UK's Strategic Defence capability."
