The focus of ESGR is three-fold:

• Recognize outstanding support
• Increase awareness of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)
• Resolve conflicts through mediation

To that end, the ESGR Statement of Support Program seeks to provide a formal process to allow employers to publicly proclaim their support for employee participation in the National Guard and Reserve.

A Statement of Support signing employer denotes the following:

• We fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA).
• Our managers and supervisors will have the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve.
• We will continually recognize and support our country’s service members and their families in peace, in crises and in war.
