EANJ is not a business and industry association. It is an "employers" association.
EANJ's original 1916 charter commits the organization to advancing "the principles of individual freedom in labor relations" and to "secure property rights and advance freedom of contract."
However, while every employer is a business, not every business is an employer.
A business views labor as a cost, taking the opportunity to reduce it whenever possible. In contrast, an employer views labor as an asset, looking to enhance it whenever possible. A business cuts costs to produce more with less; an employer invests to increase productivity. A business competes on price; an employer on talent. It is with this distinction in mind, that EANJ often provides expert commentary on legislation and regulations.
Generally speaking, EANJ's positions promote positive employee relations that can best be achieved with policies that recognize the dignity of the employee through a direct and voluntary relationship with the employer based on mutual respect.
