Reservists now play an even more vital part
An ability to rise to the challenge
In recent years, Reservists have truly been put to the test. It has helped them develop core skills such as teamwork, leadership, loyalty, dedication and commitment - all admirable qualities that any business would prize and respect. With their employer's backing, virtually every Reservist returns from active service a more valuable employee. In this issue of SaBRE Briefings, two Reservists and two employers share their experiences.
Pauline Small
Lieutenant Commander, Royal Naval Reserves, HMS Scotia.
Assistant Director of Nursing, Dunfermline & West Fife CHP.
"The relationship a Reservist has with their employer has become much more important."
Phil Pemble
PR Manager, Pertemps People Development Group
"We're full of admiration for what Chris is doing and keep in touch whilst he's away. If he was mobilised again, we'd be fully supportive"
Peter Crimmings
COP HMS Wildfire
Traffic Officer, Highways Agency
"In 2002, just before the Op Telic War, SaBRE asked me to invite my employer out to see what I did...when I got back to work I was viewed in a different light altogether."
Martin Garvey
HR Manager
Nottingham University Hospitals
"Those in managerial roles in the Reserves certainly get fantastic training. This is obvious in the workplace as their areas function exceptionally well and are very well led."
