    Employers See First-Hand What Their Employees Do When Serving in the PNG

    On May 7-8, 2025 the Pennsylvania Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) hosted a Boss Lift and tour of Fort Indiantown Gap. 

    The Boss Lift program provides an opportunity to show employers exactly what their employees, who serve in our Pennsylvania National Guard (PNG), do when the commonwealth or nation calls.

    The program allows employers to foster a deeper understanding of the skills, challenges and sacrifices of our PNG members. Participants toured several training areas and had some hands-on experience with various simulators.

    Boss Lift highlights the value and skills military personnel bring to their civilian jobs and expresses gratitude to employers for their continued support of the military and National Guard and Reserve members in the work force. During the event, ESGR senior leadership awarded members of the PNG Joint Resilience Directorate with the Seven Seals Award.
