The commissions

The three GEM standing commissions deal specifically with matters relating to human resources, taxation and public affairs. These three areas are at the heart of the GEM's action and reflections. Each commission consists of representatives of member companies, working in the sectors concerned.

 

Human Ressources Commission

The human resources commission supervises the various GEM group contracts (health insurance, accident insurance, loss of income due to illness, occupational pensions, immigration services). It also deals with labour law, administrative procedures connected with applications for work permits and access to skilled labour. In the context of its activities, the commission regularly cooperates with various cantonal administrative bodies on subjects of importance for the management of human resources of international companies (recruitment of job seekers, access to skilled labour, integration of expatriates, recording of working hours, etc.).
