From Quarterdeck to Armed Forces Covenant: An Evening with Rear Admiral (Ret'd) Chris Hockley

What can employers learn from military leadership? Why was the Armed Forces Covenant created? How can your business ensure service personnel, veterans, and their families are treated with fairness and respect? 
 
DERIG invites you to join Rear Admiral (Ret'd) Chris Hockley for an evening of stories, insights and conversation as he reflects on a Royal Navy career spanning decades of leadership and service, and his work helping to shape and promote the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS).
 
Through a keynote address and live interview, Chris will explore how the ERS has evolved over the past ten years and why its mission remains as relevant as ever for employers, educators and community leaders.
 
This event will provide valuable insights for anyone interested in the dual benefit of the Employer Recognition Scheme for businesses and military-connected employees (veterans, reservists, armed forces families and CFAV). It will also cover lessons around leadership, workforce development, community engagement and the enduring relationship between Defence and society.
