These are some of the comments received in relation to the question: More resource needs to be spent on SaBRE so that it can achieve its aims.
I believe that the majority of SaBRE (and RFCA) activity is focussed and geared towards an ‘Army’ audience; the other 2 sS receive support as a by-product of this activity.
SaBRE are achieving their aim in the majority of cases but there is still a big problem with small to medium size businesses and the NHS at middle line manager level
I’ve told my employer of the SaBRE web site and service, but don’t think they have engaged with it. As busy people running an NHS A&E I think a more face to face briefing on what they get from my service would get the message across better.
Relationship between the employer and the unit is the principle reason why people leave or cannot be retained by the Sqn. Most employers have never heard of SaBRE. Sqn members dare not mention their membership at interview for fear of not being selected. Changes in the law need to be made to cement the employees’ rights.
I part own the company I work for. I’m not sure how SaBRE can encourage employers to be PROUD of the fact that they have employees who have chosen to serve, but it would be a good aim. The benefits of training, attitude,etc are also good but at root I feel that those who have a full time job and chose to be reservists as well are doing something extraordinary, something that can be celebrated and employers should be encouraged to do so. Rather than all communications focussing on how the risks to them are being mitigated.
SaBRE is still not well-known enough in the general workplace
My former employer refused to allow me to take time off for compulsory phase2 ACT until SaBRE got involved.
SaBRE is extremely biased towards Army Reserves; in eight years of Service I have never encountered any support from SaBRE
In light of some of these comments, together with evidence captured elsewhere, we are tasking our Regional AF Covenant Co-ordinators to investigate how the Corporate Covenant can help both local employers, SaBRE and Reservists. We are also working with MoD DRM to identify other opportunities to raise awareness amongst all concerned.
