STS Defence Reinforces its Commitment to Disability Confident

STS Defence has renewed its commitment to the Disability Confident scheme. This move underscores the company’s dedication to creating an inclusive and supportive workplace for individuals with disabilities.

The Disability Confident scheme, launched by the UK government, aims to encourage employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve how they recruit, retain, and develop disabled employees. By re-signing this commitment, STS Defence pledges to continue promoting a culture of inclusion and equality, ensuring that people with disabilities have the opportunity to thrive in their careers.

Originally joining the scheme in 2020, being ‘Disability Confident’ STS Defence continues to implement practices and policies that support employees with disabilities. This includes offering flexible working arrangements, providing necessary accommodations, and ensuring that recruitment processes are accessible and fair. The company will also engage in outreach activities to attract a diverse pool of talent and promote the benefits of a diverse workforce.

As STS Defence continues to grow and innovate, its ongoing commitment to the Disability Confident scheme serves as a testament to the company’s core values of development, empowerment and customer focus.

Managing Director Ben Stancliffe said “I am delighted for us to be re-establishing our position as a Disability Confident employer, helping to promote a workplace where everyone feels equally valued, respected and included, and have the same opportunities within a diverse, inclusive and tolerant culture.”
