The story

In 1988, the organisation was founded as the Federation of European Employers by current Secretary-General Robin E.J Chater in order to assist human resource professionals operating in Europe.

The head office is located in London, UK - but due to the Brexit vote in 2016 as a global organization the organization changed its operational headquarters to Nicosia, Cyprus and Hong Kong. As a further development in 2014, the Federation became the principal sponsor of a new business networking community called butN. The butN system allows business travelers to link up and meet face-to-face.

The Federation operates in 70 countries. It does not give any information about the current number of its members. It has fifty five employees, including the Founder and Secretary-General, Robin Chater. It has 175 followers on LinkedIn.
