The aim of the project was to improve working conditions in micro- and small enterprises, through the training of staff and the organisation of a conference targeting employers. The Chamber is one of the largest employers’ associations in Malta and gathers entrepreneurs from different business sectors. The project responded to the need of entrepreneurs representing small and medium size companies, that represent over 95% of all businesses in Malta.
The project consisted of a single event, a conference on good practices and decent work arrangements for employers, combined with a training session. This initiative aimed to familiarize employers with employment laws related to decent work, thereby fostering improved working conditions. The project aligned with the objectives of the Norway Grants 2014-2021 and the SDDW Programme, contributing to the enhanced implementation of the decent work agenda.
The project aimed to improve social dialogue and cooperation, facilitate access to employment, and enhance collaboration between beneficiary and donor state entities involved in the programme. The training of GRTU staff and the organization of the conference directly and indirectly reached employers, increasing awareness and access to improved decent work arrangements. The project also emphasized good governance, sustainable development, and gender equality.
The added value of the project was the opportunity for employers to get acquainted with employment law related to decent work that will contribute to improved working conditions. Due to the limited scope and available funds, the project did not involve any partners.
