The Employers' Federation of Ceylon (EFC) has set up a HR Solutions Division to undertake specific assignments in relation to Human Resources Management/Development. Quite apart from being involved in promoting the interests of the employers and lobbying for labour law reforms and being engaged in collective bargaining on behalf of member companies, the EFC is now widening its service portfolio, providing advisory services on Human Resources Management/Development issues, EFC Director General Ravi Peiris told Daily News Business.

He said that the EFC HR Solutions Division will undertake assignments such as job descriptions, setting up performance management systems, preparation of HR manuals, designing recruitment and promotion schemes, HR audits etc.

The setting up of this unit demonstrates the EFCs proactive role in promoting its vision, which is to achieve social harmony through productive employment.

The EFC believes that employers need to put their houses in order to ensure that employees would have a better working environment, which would eventually increase productivity and efficiency, which will ultimately assist in having good workplace relations. Any employer interested in discussing any particular assignment in relation to Human Resource Management/Development should get in touch with Head of Training Dr K L Chandratilleke or Industrial Relations advisor of the Federation, Thamali Senanayake, Peiris said.
