Background

Under Advancing Decent Work and Inclusive Industrialization in Ethiopia Programme the ILO is supporting the development and implementation of three complementary interventions to strengthen the labour inspection system in Ethiopia:
1) Strategic Compliance planning for the Labour Inspectorate;
2) a labour inspection information and knowledge management system; and
3) a continuous education mechanism for labour inspectors.

The initial works for the development of labour inspection information and knowledge management system is under way. Well conceptualized, designed, developed, implemented, and maintained business management system (BPMs) provide unparalleled opportunities to make labour inspectorates more efficient, effective and strategic.

Labour inspectorates worldwide usually have Business Process Management System (BPMS). BPMS focuses on operations and allows for modelling, implementing, executing, monitoring and optimizing those processes.

It also ease internal and external reporting, standardize the collection and analysis of statistics, and facilitate evidence-based planning.

These systems facilitate the identification of priority compliance issues and targets and can be used to develop Strategic Compliance Plans per the ILO Approach to Strategic Compliance Planning for the Labour Inspectorate, through the harmonization of the collection of statistics and the ability to review and analyse trends and anomalies.

Objective

BPMS are designed based on a procedural workflow or a set of workflows as a result, it is mandatory to identify, map, and validate all procedural workflow of an entity before designing a BPMS.

Accordingly, in order for the ILO to design an effective labour inspection information and knowledge management system for Ethiopia (which will be in the form of BPMS) identifying, mapping, and validating procedural workflow of labour inspectorates is categorically essential.
