Employer Support is critical to the mission of maintaining a well balanced TOTAL DEFENSE FORCE, 48% of which comes from the National Guard and Reserve.
The men and women who serve in the Reserve component are unique in that they also have civilian employers. Support of America’s employers and the employees they share with the nation ensures the viability of the all-volunteer force, and thus our national security.
The STATEMENT OF SUPPORT PROGRAM is the cornerstone of ESGR’s effort to gain and maintain employer support. The intent of the program is to increase employer support for the Guard and Reserve by developing employee participation in the military.
ESGR Recognizes Outstanding Employer Support
The ESGR Statement of Support Program seeks to inform and educate employers about their rights and responsibilities towards their employee’s who serve in the National Guard and Reserve, and to also recognize and reward those employers who go “over and above” the requirements of the law.
