1 April 2025 will see a personnel change in the Employers’ Liaison Office at the KAN Secretariat. After 25 years as head of the office, Eckhard Metze will retire, having played a key role in representing the employers’ interests in occupational safety and health and standardization during this time. He has also raised awareness of KAN in a wide network of associations and experts in occupational safety and health and standardization.

He will now be succeeded by Freeric Meier, who has been working as a technical officer at the KAN Secretariat since the beginning of 2020 and is therefore already very familiar with KAN’s work. Freeric Meier is a graduate in economics with a specialization in the interfaces between economics, law and politics. In future, he will organize the agreement of positions on the employer side and serve as a contact and representative for the employers’ interests.
