CEC European Managers

CEC European Managers (also called "European confederation of executives & managers staff") is a European organisation that promotes and defends the interest of managers in Europe towards the European institutions.
Through its national member organisations and professional federations it represents around 1 million managers in Europe.
CEC European Managers is one of the six cross-industry European social partners recognised by the European Commission and takes part in the European Social Dialogue.
CEC European Managers'office is based in the European quarter of Brussels.
CEC history
Managers were among the first to understand the importance of organizing themselves on an international level.
In 1951 the French, German and Italian executive federations formed the CIC (International Confederation of Managers). In order to participate more actively in the European social dialogue and to be able to have a political influence on the unification process, this international federation founded the European one in 1989.
CEC European Managers now unites around 1 million executives, managers and professionals in Europe, through its national organisations and European federations.
Since the late 1980s, CEC European Managers has been making its genuine and positive contribution as a social partner to the European integration.
Since the Maastricht Treaty, CEC has become an interlocutor for the European Commission and is consulted on new legislative initiatives.
Since July 1999 CEC European Managers is part of the employee delegation in the negotiations under the social protocol representing the interests of its members in these negotiations.
Mission
According to CEC European Managers, their mission can be described as follows:
- to strive for European integration;
- to contribute to find a balance between the economic performance of enterprises and income and social protection for the workforce. We raise awareness about the fact that managers and workers need different degrees of security and flexibility;
- to express and defend the needs and opinions of European managers on current topics such as sustainable development, environmental protection, active ageing, energy self-sufficiency, lifelong learning, active ageing, equal opportunities or diversity.
- to provide relevant knowledge to managers and policy makers at the cutting edge of leadership and policy research. We take a holistic approach integrating public and private management principles as well as different research traditions;
- to contribute to strengthen the quality of European management practices by providing best practices and raising awareness;
- to contribute to the debate on the future of public policies from a managerial point of view
Managers in Europe and in the World
Though legally considered as employees, managers are expected to take over management’s responsibility for the workers and for the development of the company.
Managers assume essential duties which involve responsibilities, competences and professionalism in the management and implementation of corporate and institutional objectives. Leaders of this type share common sociological characteristics and interests. This is why the European Parliament expressly supported managers’ entitlement to a separate and independent representation not only on national but also on European level. This group of employees is steadily increasing with the continuing development of information and communications technologies and of new forms of labour organisation.
