Making a Better Working Environment for Employees in Afghanistan

MAKING A BETTER WORKING ENVIRONMENT FOR EMPLOYEES IN AFGHANISTAN

Employee's courage and motivation is an enduring challenge at any work place, especially in working situations and environments where we do not have enough safety and satisfaction of staff. Similar conditions are currently observed at Afghanistan. The workers of the number of government and non-government organizations, ministries, autonomous commissions, project, join ventures and the global businesses of Afghanistan work in an uncertain atmosphere. Safety of employees is one of the main concerns for the organizations operating in Afghanistan.

After a long period of war, the Afghan national policies and strategies are now changing to offer a more secure working atmosphere to employees. A more secure and professional working atmosphere offering much better opportunities and equal rights to choose a profession according to qualification, interest and skills is emerging now. This is also attracting numerous international organizations to start significant projects in Afghanistan for local public interest and economical stability.

In this scenario, presently Afghani administration has taken steps to enhance the national policies and laws for better and safe labor management. Afghan labor ministry has signed international agreements for the International Labor Organization Management. Under this agreement Afghanistan will establish new or modified plans and policies to respect national and international standards for employee's management.

One of the biggest examples of Afghan administration's success for better safety management for employees is its achievement of New York Federal Executive Board Emergency Preparedness and Employee Safety Award in May 2011. This shows that the atmosphere for employees is changing in Afghanistan. Now, we have more secure and perfect environment for people to get employment according to their educational and skill levels. Afghanistan is no more war zone, now local administration and US management is trying to establish constant stability for both local and international communities. These efforts also have a great deal of influence on changing Afghanistan's working environment for employees and for offering much better safety and support to employees.
