On 21 February, the European Business Services Alliance (EBSA) launched its Manifesto outlining which actions the upcoming new European institutions should implement to ensure growth of business services in the EU’s Single Market. WEC-Europe, a founding member and current vice-chair of EBSA, put emphasis on two themes that are essential for the private employment industry: better regulation and skills.
What is the working age population in Europe vs. Asia? How have unemployment evolved since 2010? How many are still in informal employment? Using statistics from international organisations, the World Employment Confederation put together a fact sheet with the most relevant indicators of global labour markets.
The World Employment Confederation-Europe drafted guidelines to clarify the relationships that the HR services providers and their clients can enter into, according to the rules set by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In addition to describing the possible roles, the guidelines also provide insights into some typical HR services such as agency work or Managed Service Provider.
From advocacy on global standards to conferencing on the need for social innovation and sharing best practices around the broadening scope of HR services, the World Employment Confederation supported its members in several ways throughout 2018. Find out the main achievements and what members have to say about them in our 2018 Activity Report!
