Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., has been appointed National
President of the Employers' Federation of India (EFI), one
of the bodies representing India at the International
Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva which is also an
important constituent of the tripartite Indian Labour
Conference.
"As a distinguished member of corporate India and the HR
fraternity, Rajeev will bring significant experience to his
new role as National President of the Employers' Federation
of India. I am sure he will endeavour to retain EFI's
position as India's premier federation of employers, an
apex body respected by all its stakeholders - the trade
unions, the government and the communities with which the
member companies engage," said Mr. Sharad Patil, Secretary
General, Employers' Federation of India.
The EFI has a distinguished history with eminent
personalities like Sir Homi Mody, Naval Tata and Keshub
Mahindra serving as past Presidents.
An association of autonomous industry organisations, EFI is
India's premier federation of employers, an apex body which
aims to protect, promote and champion the interests of
industrial employees in the areas of Industrial Relations,
labour problems and cognate matters.
Internationally, EFI represents Indian employers at the ILO

Organisation of Employers) Geneva. EFI provides
practicioners and experts with a platform in the IR/ER
space for problem-solving and sharing of best practices.
Some of the values EFI stands for include fairness,
integrity, national interest, credibility and
inclusiveness.
According to Rajeev, the major task ahead for the EFI is to
work with all its stakeholders (the government, unions,
local communities and the ILO) to create an ecosystem which
would not only make India globally competitive based on
innovation and competitiveness but to also ensure fairness
and equality for all concerned.
Upholding the EFI's values of promoting fairness,
inclusion, integrity and credibility in the workplace is of
paramount importance. The EFI can create several platforms
for various stakeholders get together to co-create
tomorrow's India, thereby unleashing India's blue collar
working capabilities. This will necessarily imply the
active participation of multiple stakeholders, not only in
New Delhi but also in the state capitals and smaller towns
throughout the country.
In addition, the EFI will focus on skills and competency
development to create inclusive employment and
employability. To do so, the EFI will play a greater role
as an advocacy body between the government, the private
sector and trade and union organizations.
