Employers implement their respective protective measures professionally and consistently . Since the Corona pandemic, safety and health in the workplace have become one of the most important factors for the business viability of companies.


Issue 25/23:
Act!


"Following the Constitutional Court ruling on budget trickery, politicians seem to be in a state of shock and expectation of doom," says Employers' President Dr. Rainer Dulger and calls on politicians to take action in the current BDA agenda position. In the guest commentary of the week, NORDMETALL President Folkmar Ukena also calls the ruling a wake-up call to politicians and calls on the traffic light to rethink its economic policy. We also present the BDA position paper "10 recommendations for the training and further education of teachers" and invite you to a virtual lunch talk on the topic of social policy. You can find these and other topics in the current BDA agenda.

The Voice of German Business in Brussels

Europe keeps us busy. With our expertise as a social partner, we help shape European policy. Together with the BDI, we form the European voice of the entire German economy.
