Silver Status for 3PL
XPO HAS achieved Silver Status in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, part of the Armed Forces Covenant.
The award recognises months of work in building, testing, and deploying policies and tools to help encourage and support military veterans, reservists, cadets and spouses to work for XPO. The additional measures include:
- Offering up to 10 days of additional paid leave for serving reservists to allow for rest after military exercises.
- Up to five days of additional paid leave for Cadet Force leaders.
- Giving preferential leave to military spouses to ensure they have time off when their partners return from, or depart for, active duty so they have time together and as a family before or after deployment.
Lynn Brown, vice president – human resources – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “Many of our team, from our senior management team to drivers and warehouse operatives, joined the organisation straight from the military service, and their contributions have been invaluable to the success of XPO. They bring a wealth of experience and skills from which our entire organisation benefits. We are proud to support these great individuals to achieve their full potential in our industry.”
