Training Package on Effective Employers' Organization

ACT/EMP Symposium on the Business of Representing Business Business People EESE Toolkit

Employers' organizations 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' organizations 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' organizations have a special relationship with the Organization. The ILO's Bureau for Employers´ Activities is responsible for the nurturing and development of that relationship.
