Army: Labour Turnover
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to improve retention rates in the Army.
Answered by Al Carns
Retention is one of the Army’s top priorities, supported by Defence. A retention strategy has been launched to address barriers to retention through a wholistic set of financial and policy initiatives spanning the entire employee lifecycle. Supported by a dedicated annual retention fund, the strategy is held to account by the Army Personnel Campaign Board, chaired by Commander Home Command. This is part of a Defence-wide initiative driven at a ministerial level through the recently established Recruitment and Retention Board.
