Who We Are
National Federation of Maldivian
Employers, NFME was incorporated on 30 October 2018. Multiple NGOs representing
key industries joined hands together to form a federation of several
associations collectively with the objective of protecting the employers as
well as the employees. Due to the Maldivian law restricting associations to be
founding members, the founding member associations selected their respective
representative.
NFME’s mission is to work for the
rights of Maldivian employers with regards to social policies related to
employees, employment and employment industries on a regional, national and
international level, to establish guidelines in adherence to business ethics
and maintaining a harmonious relationship between employers and employees. The
federation aims to assist in implementing national policies, research and
deliberate on these policies with the government authorities and other
stakeholders including national and international associations. In doing so,
protection of employers’ rights will be the top priority.
International Organisation of
Employers, IOE has recognised NFME as a member in November 2019. Furthermore,
NFME represents the Employers in the tripartite discussions of International
Labour Organisation, ILO, which includes a representative from each of the
three parties; Government, Employers and Employees.
