A shake-up of employment practices could be on the way for the Virgin Islands following government engagement with the International Labour Organisation. As part of those efforts, the ILO stated, the government has set up a technical drafting committee for the territory’s first National Employment Policy. “My focus is on ensuring that this National Employment Policy is not an abstract exercise, but one rooted in fiscal realism and aligned with our National Sustainable Development Plan,” Mr. Holder said. “The National Employment Policy will be a central framework to strengthen the labour market, expand opportunities for young people, and improve working conditions, wages and job security,” Mr. Musabayana said. “The ILO is committed to supporting the Virgin Islands not only in designing this policy, but also its implementation,” he said.
