ILO & Employers

Employers' organisations represent a key asset in any society: its enterprises. Successful enterprises are at the heart of any strategy to create employment and improve living standards. Employers' organisations help to create the conditions for enterprise success by influencing the environment in which they do business and by providing services that improve their individual performance. As one of the three constituents of the ILO, employers' organisations have a special relationship with the Organisation. The ILO's Bureau for Employers' Organisations is responsible for the nurturing and development of that relationship.

The ILO Bureau for Employers' Activities maintains close contacts with employers' organizations in all the member states of the ILO. The Bureau operates from ILO headquarters in Geneva and through a network of employers' organisation specialists in the ILO's multi-disciplinary advisory teams around the world. Its tasks are to make the resources of the ILO available to employers' organisations, and to keep the ILO constantly aware of their views, concerns and priorities. It promotes international cooperation amongst employers' organisations, and runs a programme of activities around the world.

The Bureau is available, through national employers' organisations, as a gateway through which employers can gain access to some of the best information available on human resources development, industrial relations and a host of other employment and labour market-related subjects.

The Bureau also runs a programme of technical cooperation which provides development assistance to employers' organisations in developing countries and countries in transition to a market economy. This work is mostly done through projects financed by the overseas development assistance funds of donor countries.
