Employers' Organizations are institutions set up to organize and advance the collective interests of employers. Given that the range and content of such collective interests vary from one country to another, the structure, membership basis and functions of employers' organizations differ widely between countries.
Employers' organizations fulfil a variety of functions. The issue of membership growth, income generation and improvement of relations with members are important for all employers' organizations. While the historic raison d'être for many employers' organizations is its direct role in the collective bargaining process, employers' organizations are also involved in influencing labour market and industrial relations environments in other ways, for example through participating in statutory bodies, consultations on labour market issues and lobbying activities on behalf of their members.
Employers' organizations also provide services to members such as the provision of information, training and consultancy. Employers' organizations can also act as a focal point for dialogue and information sharing for companies seeking good practices in human resources management. In this context, employers' organizations often play an advocacy role with their members by highlighting business practices that can improve enterprise performance.
