Nations Organization, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has
focused on workplace issues, actively seeking to create decent work
for all – work which is freely chosen and performed in an environment
of equity and human dignity. While promoting individual and collective
rights at work, social protection and occupational safety and health,
the ILO encourages social dialogue and supports an open and con-
structive industrial relations policy between governments, employers
and workers.
