Several jurisdictions around the world start to regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence, with the European Union taking the lead with the most comprehensive set of rules to be adopted. As the EU AI act is being finalised, the World Employment Confederation is becoming increasingly concerned that misguided and possibly harmful regulation will not only slow innovative development but also close the door to the possibilities that AI holds for workers and employers. A balanced approach to AI in the workplace is needed. For the HR services industry, this entails the respect of ten principles, outlined in the Code of ethical principles adopted by the World Employment Confederation in 2023.

Jurriën Koops - Director, ABU (The Netherlands)
The overarching raison d’être of the World Employment Confederation is to support its members in growing their business in a sustainable way.
Denis Pennel - Managing Director, World Employment Confederation
Our membership to the World Employment Confederation-Europe not only brings value because it provides us with up-to-date information about EU policy developments and with the possibility to shape the position of the industry. It also gives us the opportunity to be directly involved in discussions with EU policymakers and such contacts would not be possible without the WEC.
