The Employers’ Federation of Ceylon (EFC), has extended its best wishes to President Anura Kumara Dissanayaka on his election as the 9th executive President of Sri Lanka.

“The EFC extends its best wishes to President Anura Kumara Dissanayaka and assures its commitment in promoting initiatives and policies to achieve social harmony through productive employment,” a statement from the private sector body said.

EFC said considering the highly competitive environment businesses are required to operate in at present, it calls on the President to initiate labour law reforms which will result in the promotion of investment, creation of new and better job opportunities, strengthen social security and create an enabling environment for employees and employers to realise the full potential of the modern world of work.

“While transforming the labour law, the EFC also emphasises the importance of recognition of the digital transformation taking place in the world of work and calls for the creation of an enabling environment to foster economic growth for the national economy to remain competitive and sustainable,” EFC said.

The EFC, established in 1929, is an organisation of employers dealing with Labour, Employment and Social policy in Sri Lanka. Today, it is the principal organisation of employers promoting employer interests at national level.
