They are then deployed to a user firm and work under the guidance and supervision of the user company. This “triangular employment relationship” improves allocation within the labour market. It allows workers to gain easy access to work...

The private employment industry has already embarked on building a future of work that ensures fair and decent work for diverse forms of employment

Annemarie Muntz - President of the World Employment Confederation

At the heart of the debate around the future of work lies the issue of labour market security, which must be favored over job security. To fit the new reality, we must create a whole new social deal which embraces these new attitudes to life and work and which fosters the diversity that already exists in our labour markets.

Denis Pennel - Managing Director of the World Employment Confederation

A strong knowledge base is fundamental to support our advocacy activities and ensure sound regulatory frameworks. The World Employment Confederation helps members to better collect and organise knowledge, in particular data. Pulling our resources together contributes to strengthening the image of our industry as a credible partner.
