The Unified Labour & Employment Subsystem (EMAS) is a digital solution implemented in Azerbaijan to modernize and improve the labor market. Its objectives are to create a transparent labor market, promote fair competition, protect labor rights, and enhance access to employment opportunities. EMAS serves as a central hub that integrates various components, including the employment platform and registers of employed and unemployed individuals.
EMAS takes a comprehensive approach to address the challenges faced by the labor market. It offers innovative features such as job searching, employee hiring, employment regulation tools, workforce management, and transparency/reporting. The system facilitates the transition from paper-based to electronic labor contracts and digital personnel records, eliminating the need for outdated documents and physical inspections.
By providing online services, EMAS improves access to job opportunities for job seekers and simplifies labor processes for employers. It maintains a real-time database of job vacancies and generates personalized employment programs for the unemployed, matching their qualifications with suitable jobs. The system empowers employees to manage their labor contracts, access information about their employment, and review relevant orders from employers.
EMAS benefits employers by facilitating efficient human resource management, compliance with labor laws, and streamlined recruitment processes. The system's impact is measured through the number of active users and feedback from stakeholders and citizens.
EMAS stands out from other digital government programs by its specific focus on the labor market and its tailored features for labor market stakeholders. It distinguishes itself through its comprehensive integration with multiple government systems, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information. With its replicable model, EMAS has the potential to inspire similar initiatives in other regions facing labor market challenges.
