Supporting veterans through the Soldier On Pledge
At Kongsberg Defence Australia, we are proud to contribute to the veteran community through our partnership with Soldier On. As a Soldier On Pledge Partner, we are committed to supporting veterans and their families, helping them thrive in civilian life by recognising their skills and fostering supportive workplaces. With 54% of our employees being veterans, we demonstrate our commitment through three core areas: Recruitment, Retention, and Workplace Culture.
Recruitement We recruit in line with Australia’s Fair Work Act and vete- rans are naturally drawn to our organisation as a defence industry participant. Our flexible working arrangements and paid leave for reservists reflect our understanding of the unique demands on veterans. Retention Veterans bring valuable, transferable skills from their service. KONGSBERG’s training and development programmes focus on integrating these skills into civilian roles, fostering both personal growth and company success. We ensure veterans are aware of our peer support network, reinforcing our strong values-based culture. Workplace Culture With over 200 years of heritage, KONGSBERG fosters a family-oriented culture. We actively acknowledge veteran commemorations and promote initiatives like Soldier On, ensuring a workplace that appreciates and supports veterans and the needs of the military family.
