NJ Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve
The New Jersey Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, NJESGR, is a Department of Defense volunteer organization. We provide free education, consultation, and if necessary, mediation for employers of Guard and Reserve employees. ESGR's goal is to support New Jersey's employers who share their employees with the Department of Defense to ensure our national security.
Our mission is to gain and maintain support of all public and private employers for the men and women of the National Guard and Reserve as defined by demonstrated employer commitment to employee military service.
The NJESGR Committee is made up of volunteer business executives, civic leaders, educators, retired and active military personnel, and concerned citizens dedicated to preventing and resolving those employer/employee conflicts that directly impact the retention of our reserve component soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen. Our 150 members with some help and resources from the National Committee based in Arlington, VA, initiate employer support and education programs including a speakers bureau, ombudsman program, visits to training sites, and through our awards program, recognition of employers whose policies support or encourage participation in the National Guard and Reserve. By explaining the mission of the National Guard and Reserve and by increasing public awareness of the role of the employer, we hope to develop a dialogue among employers, our state employer support committee, and local National Guard and Reserve unit commanders and members.
