The objective of the survey is to assess two types of services that the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale (MESS) provides to businesses: the Mesure de formation adressée aux entreprises (Business Training Measure) and the Soutien à la gestion des ressources humaines (Human Resources Management Support). The results will enable the MESS to improve its public employment services for businesses.
