With a track record spanning over 50 years, the Malaysian Employers Federation, as the central organisation of private sector employers in Malaysia, has gained recognition both nationally and internationally through its prominent role and activities.

Nationally, the MEF has earned its reputation as an authority in the provision of a forum for consultation on principles and practices of human resources (HR) and industrial relations (IR) through advice, training and research activities. As the business environment becomes more competitive, there will be greater demands for the MEF to provide consultancy and advisory services to members on all aspects of employment-related matters.  Thus, there is a need to strengthen its linkage with selective employers’ organisations world-wide for MEF to enhance its leadership role in human resource management and also increase its influence in policy-making bodies.
