Save the date: Global Forum for Responsible Recruitment 2025
28 November 2024
IHRB is pleased to announce the date and location for the Global Forum for Responsible Recruitment 2025 - the leading forum to advance responsible recruitment of migrant workers globally.
2025’s forum is the eighth in the series and will take place in Bangkok, Thailand, between 20-21st May 2025.
The theme for this year’s forum will be Driving Change - Delivering a New Recruitment Model.
The forum is a hybrid event. In-person and online attendees will participate in two days of engaging sessions covering a range of issues related to responsible recruitment.
The Forum provides:
- Thought leadership: Taking stock and nurturing ideas to achieve better recruitment regulation and practices and eradicate worker-paid recruitment fees.
- Convening: A global marketplace that inspires and enables uptake of improved recruitment commitments, practices, and outcomes by the diversity of actors involved.
- Networking: Connecting diverse organisations and their networks to accelerate progress around this collective mission.
- Shared learning: Amplifying expertise to scale uptake and empower all to shape a responsible, sustainable, fair, and ethical recruitment industry for migrant workers.
Attendees will include business, civil society organisations, UN bodies, trade unions, migrant workers, and their representatives. All sessions will also be recorded and available for download on IHRB’s dedicated YouTube playlist.
Thailand is home to many migrant workers filling roles in the direct operations or supply chains of leading international brands. Many migrant workers face flawed recruitment processes, including the payment of large recruitment fees to secure employment abroad. The Forum will be both local and global in its outlook, as well as address country and sector specific challenges.
Registration for in-person places will open in January 2025.
