People form the core of our Defence capability and we recognise the urgent need to transform the way we support all Defence\u2019s people and their families, from recruitment through to retirement and beyond.\u200b The new Government has met with Rick Haythornthwaite to explain our approach and emphasise our commitment to meeting the challenges set out in his generational review. The publication of a formal response to the report is now a priority.<\/p>
The core principles and recommendations of the review will be central to the recently launched Strategic Defence Review. This will require a new and novel approach to determining the requirements for the UK\u2019s Defence and the recommendations within the Haythornthwaite Review of UK Armed Forces Incentivisation (HRAFI) are already shaping how we deliver this.<\/p>
As a core principle of the HRAFI report, the importance of developing a \u2018People Value Proposition\u2019 approach is fully accepted. Consequently, work is underway to map and articulate the \u2018whole\u2019 landscape of tangible and intangible elements of the \u2018Offer\u2019, \u2018Reward\u2019 and \u2018Fulfilment\u2019. Housing and Welfare are part of this work, as are all other areas that influence how valued and supported our people and their families feel.<\/p>"}
