Good Governance in Employers and Business Membership Organizations
Compare and benchmark your EBMO’s against best governance practices all around the world
Good governance is essential for Employers' and Business Membership Organizations (EBMOs). As voluntary, membership-based entities, EBMOs must uphold the principles of independence, clarity, and transparency at all times.
Governance rules should ensure balanced representation of business interests and foster healthy rotation in decision-making positions within the organization.
Issues arise when the boundaries between management and governance become blurred. EBMOs' statutes and by-laws must clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the President, Board members, the CEO, and the secretariat team.
This course offers a unique opportunity to learn and exchange ideas with peers, helping you identify potential challenges and opportunities for your organization.
