Successful enterprises are at the heart of any strategy to create employment and improve living standards. Employers’ organizations are crucial for shaping an environment conducive to competitive and sustainable enterprises that can contribute to economic and social development, and by providing services that improve and guide individual performance of enterprises. Employers’ organizations are a critical component of any social dialogue process, which can help to ensure that national social and economic objectives are properly and effectively formulated and enjoy wide support among the business community which they represent. The Bureau of Employers’ Activities of the ILO works with employers’ organizations so that they can effectively support their members.
