The Forum of Private Business is a proactive, not-for-profit membership organisation providing comprehensive support, protection and reassurance to UK-based small businesses.
The Forum has also published information on employing Reservists on its website to better inform its members. For more information visit: www.fpb.org
Employing a Reservist can represent a real challenge for employers, and particularly for those running small businesses. The Forum of Private Business understands the issue for employers who may see valuable employees taken away from them for several months, but we also recognise that Reservists can be a huge asset to their civilian employers because of the leadership skills they bring to the workplace and their dedication to the business community. The Forum is delighted to support the SaBRE campaign which provides employers with a wealth of vital information to help them support their Reservist employees. By working together, we can help smaller businesses to get the most out of valuable employees and balance their commitments with the needs of the business."
