ILO-SCORE Campaign: Sukses Milik Bersama

To assist Indonesian SMEs to be more productive, competitive and sustainable, the ILO through its Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE) programme is conducting a Campaign, Sukses Milik Bersama, in Jakarta and Makssar, aimed to promote the importance of co-operation between workers and management as a source of mutual prosperity

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) make a major contribution to growth and job creation in Indonesia, providing 60 per cent of employment opportunities for both women and men. The key to sustainable economic development also lies in the development of SMEs that are competitive, resilient, and can continue to grow, even when market conditions are difficult.

SMEs can often be more flexible, innovative, and responsive to market demands than larger enterprises. However, their small size also makes SMEs particularly vulnerable to external shocks. So, in Indonesia, as in many other countries, SMEs have been finding it difficult to sustain operations in recent years due to, among other challenges, the new ASEAN China free trade area agreement.

To assist SMEs to be more productive, competitive and sustainable, the ILO through its Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE) programme is conducting a Campaign, Sukses Milik Bersama, in Jakarta and Makssar, aimed to promote the importance of co-operation between workers and management as a source of mutual prosperity and to improve enterprise practices and enhance teamwork in the workplace.

The responsible workplace practices being promoted through this campaign have already been widely adopted by top international companies and, over the last two years, they have been successfully applied in Indonesian SMEs, with the assistance of the ILO-SCORE programme.
