The Forum of Private Business (FPB) fights for the fair treatment of private businesses by decision-makers and supports the profitable growth of members.
The FPB has also published information on employing Reservists on their 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 (FPB) 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 FPB 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."
