• About Beerg

    Founded in 2002, BEERG - the Brussels European Employee Relations Group - provides a forum for European employee relations specialists to discuss issues of mutual concern. We have over 60 major TNCs in membership. We host three member meetings per year (two in Brussels, one in Barcelona) plus regular ad hoc meetings in locations across Europe.

  • BEERG Mission

    BEERG membership is drawn predominantly from companies with a European-wide footprint. We work with members to help them negotiate their relationships with trade unions and works councils within Europe and also on other challenging aspects of the employee relations agenda.

  • BEERG & AMEERG

    AMEERG - the Africa Middle East Employee Relations Group – is an integral part of BEERG. It provides a secure and expert network within which participants can learn about labour relations and employment law developments across Africa and the Middle-East and discuss how best to handle issues based on their own experiences.
