This forum will feature policy briefings and a moderated discussion with the Ministry of Manpower’s Directorate General of Manpower Placement Development and Employment Opportunity Expansion (Ditjen Binapenta & PKK), focusing on three priority areas: (i) domestic workforce placement policy, (ii) the utilization of foreign workers, and (iii) industrial relations dispute resolution.

The session is designed as a policy socialization and dialogue platform, providing AmCham member companies with clarity on current policy priorities while offering an opportunity to share practical considerations from the perspective of employers operating in Indonesia.

As Indonesia’s labor policy landscape continues to evolve alongside workforce and investment dynamics, the forum will bring together HR leaders, legal and compliance professionals, and business decision-makers—particularly those responsible for recruitment and workforce placement, foreign worker arrangements (RPTKA/Work Permit processes), and industrial relations matters—to exchange insights and engage constructively with the Ministry of Manpower.
