history

founding

The organization was founded in 1989 by merging the Norsk Arbeidsgiverforening (German: Norwegian employers' association ), the Norges Industriforbund (German: Norway's industry association ) and the Norges Håndverkerforbund (German: Norway's craftsmen's association ).

  • 1991–1999: Karl Glad
  • 2000–2009: Finn Bergesen

Kristin Skogen Lund left her post as managing director in September 2018. Afterwards, Ole Erik Almlid was initially acting managing director, and in December 2018 the NHO announced that Almlid would continue to hold the office. NHO President has been Arvid Moss from aluminum producer Norsk Hydro since 2017 .

organization

The NHO is divided into 16 regional associations ( Landsforeninger ), which are responsible for various economic sectors . These include the industrial association Norsk Industri (NI), the building association Byggenæringens Landsforening (BNL), the service provider association NHO Service and the oil and gas association Norsk Olje og Gass . Each member company of the main organization is affiliated to one of the regional associations. In addition, the NHO is divided into ten regional associations that operate in 16 local branches. Among other things, they establish contact with local and regional politics and advise companies in the area.

The NHO also has an office in Brussels , where it tries to influence the legislation of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). The branch there is also responsible for membership in the European umbrella organization Businesseurope .

Work of the NHO

The NHO works in the areas of employer and economic policy , conducts information and lobbying and works as a service provider for its member companies. In this activity the NHO is involved in many collective bargaining . This has resulted in several agreements with the Norwegian trade unions, such as the main agreement with the trade union umbrella organization Landsorganisasjonen i Norge (LO). This is also known colloquially as "arbeidslivets grunnlov", ie the "Basic Law of Working Life".
