The World Employment Confederation (WEC) is the global representative body for
the private employment services industry, bringing together national federations and workforce
solutions companies from around the world. Its activities focus on advocating for effective
labour market policies, promoting fair and ethical recruitment practices, developing industry
standards, and providing thought leadership on the future of work. WEC engages with
international organisations, governments, employers, and worker representatives on issues
such as skills development, labour market regulation, migration, digitalisation, social
protection, and workforce inclusion. Through research, policy dialogue, conferences, and
best-practice initiatives, WEC seeks to support well-functioning labour markets and help
workers and businesses adapt to changing employment needs.
