Employer engagement is an important part of achieving Defence objectives. It is the main activity required to develop and sustain strong, positive, mutually-beneficial relationships between employers and the Ministry of Defence, to support Armed Forces personnel before, during and after their service.
The Ministry of Defence’s employer engagement programme aims to support the delivery of 35,000 effective and capable Reservists.
The strategic priority has been to secure and sustain access to and availability of the skilled, capable people needed to deliver Defence outputs.
