2014 Activity Report / Ciett / 3
T hroughout 2014 Ciett has continued with its strategy to win better recognition for the positive role played by the employment and recruitment industry in reaching
better functioning labour markets around the world.
I am delighted to be able to take this opportunity to share with you the results in this year’s activity report, which comes in a new format.
From raising the profile of the industry vis-à-vis international policymakers and calling for appropriate regulation to be adopted on private employment services to providing capacity building to the Ciett members and to developing a better understanding of the reality of the industry, this report demonstrates what Ciett & Eurociett have done for their members and the industry as a whole.
As the only authoritative voice representing the employment and recruitment industry at global level, Ciett has been working hard on developing pro-active engagements with many of our stakeholders, be it international policymakers such as the International Labour Organisation, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the International Organisation for Migration, and the EU institutions, trade unions or the academic world.
On top of that, 2014 was for Ciett a year of change, with a new leadership put in place under the newly-elected Ciett President Annemarie Muntz. A new strategy has been adopted by Ciett members to take our industry to the next level.
Entitled “Reaching out & Partnering”, the Ciett strategic plan for 2015-2017 has three main objectives: to strengthen the global geographical scope of Ciett, to better link private employment services to other business services and to increasingly cover the enlarged scope of HR services provided by Ciett members. The implementation of this strategic plan has already started, and the first outcomes will be delivered in 2015!
At the same time, Ciett will continue to develop its operational activities in terms of advocating, capacity building and educating. Our Way to Work campaign and related events and materials will be further developed to debunk misperceptions and prejudices about our industry. Looking at the persistent level of unemployment across the world, private employment services are more than ever needed to ensure a better match between supply & demand of work and for accompanying workers, businesses and public authorities in adapting to the new world of work!
I would like to thank the staff of the Ciett & Eurociett Secretariat for their hard work, the respective members of the Ciett & Eurociett Board for their long-lasting, active commitment and the Ciett & Eurociett members for their support and contribution. It is thanks to the Ciett family that so much has been achieved in 2014!
Ciett will continue to develop its operational activities in terms of advocating, capacity building and educating. Our Way to Work campaign and related events and materials will be further developed to debunk misperceptions and prejudices about our industry.
Denis Pennel, Ciett & Eurociett Managing Director
