This is dependent upon maintaining a credible and realistic offer that earns and retains the trust of people in Defence. In order to achieve this, all personnel, Regular and Reserves must be confident that, not only will they be treated fairly, but also that their families will be treated properly and that Service veterans and their dependants will be respected and appropriately supported.  \nJSP 760 is the authoritative policy and guidance on the use of leave and other types of absences by all Service personnel, their chains of command and specialist administration staff to determine entitlement to leave and appropriate criteria and category for absence. Well-managed leave and absence is crucial in maintaining moral, ensuring our personnel are refreshed and recuperated for duty in order to facilitate an effective work force. Taking leave is both an individual and a chain of command responsibility; missing leave damages both. It is incumbent on all commanders, Service or civilian, to ensure appropriate leave is taken by the whole workforce. Therefore, I would strongly encourage that those personnel charged with the management of leave apply the guidance to ensure that Defence retains a fighting force that is able to sustain current and future commitments.  \nChief of Defence People Functional Owner for People  \ni JSP 760 Pt 1 (V38 .4 Mar 23)  \nPreface  \nHow to use this JSP  \n1.
