Policy Statement
TEIGE Electrical Services is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace that values the contributions of all individuals, including those with military experience. As a veteran-friendly employer, TEIGE recognises the unique skills, work ethic, and leadership qualities that veterans bring to the workforce. This policy outlines our commitment to providing equal employment opportunities and supporting the recruitment, retention, and development of veterans within our organisation.

Commitment to Veterans
TEIGE Electrical Services actively seeks to recruit veterans who have served in the Australian Defence Force (ADF), as well as those who have served in other military organisations. We understand the transferable skills and values that veterans bring to civilian employment, such as discipline, leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, which align with the demands of the electrical and construction industries.

Recruitment

1. Equal Opportunity Employment
   TEIGE Electrical Services is an equal opportunity employer, and as part of this commitment, we encourage veterans to apply for positions across all levels of the business. We aim to ensure that our hiring processes are free from bias, allowing veterans to be considered on an equal footing with all other candidates.

2. Special Recruitment Initiatives for Veterans
   TEIGE Electrical Services partners with veteran organisations and military support groups to raise awareness of career opportunities available within the business. Our recruitment efforts aim to connect with qualified veterans and support their transition into civilian employment.

3. Veteran-Specific Job Opportunities
   We will continue to create roles that provide veterans with meaningful employment opportunities, whether in electrical services, maintenance planning, project management, or other support positions within the company. Where possible, we will seek to match veterans’ skills and experiences with roles that align with their training and qualifications.

Support and Integration

1. Onboarding and Orientation
   Veterans joining TEIGE Electrical Services will receive a tailored onboarding experience to support their transition into the company. This includes an orientation that familiarises them with the business, the work culture, and any specific support systems we have in place for veterans.

2. Veteran Mentorship Program
   We recognise that transitioning from military to civilian employment can come with challenges. To ease this transition, TEIGE Electrical offers a mentorship program where experienced staff members provide guidance and support to veterans, helping them integrate into the company culture and navigate the specifics of their roles.

3. Workplace Adjustments
   Where necessary, TEIGE Electrical is committed to providing reasonable workplace adjustments for veterans with service-related disabilities. This could include changes to work schedules, physical environments, or duties to ensure veterans can perform to their fullest potential.

This ensures veterans have the tools necessary to succeed in the civilian workforce and continue to develop within TEIGE Electrical.

Veterans who demonstrate an aptitude for leadership will have opportunities to take on roles with increased responsibility and scope, whether in project management, team leadership, or other managerial positions.
