Labour Migration Policy Working Group

Why join the Policy Working Group?

“Business success and competitiveness in the global economy requires clear and consistent migration policies, national laws, and procedures that allow companies to maintain skilled workforces. The IOE Policy Working Group on Labour Migration will continue through its engagement with the ILO, its participation in the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) and in the implementation of the Global Compact for Migration to ensure that the collective perspectives of IOE members and partners are captured, delivered, and taken into account.”


Lindiwe Sephomolo, Chair (ALEB, Lesotho)
