About Us :
Until the onset of development activities, most work in Bhutan was fully carried out by Bhutanese. As development work gathered momentum, the need for management, technical as well as manual labour increased and was met by employing large numbers of foreign workers.

However, with more Bhutanese completing studies and training, today nearly all-managerial and administrative jobs are held by Bhutanese. Similarly, Bhutanese have also filled large numbers of technical positions. With regard to manual labour, Bhutanese implemented major infrastructure development projects like Thimphu-Phuentsholing and Samdrup Jongkhar- Trashigang highways and the reconstruction of Tashichhodzong.

However, due to the accelerating rate of development activities throughout the kingdom and the emergence of large projects such as Chukha, Tala and Kurichu Hydro Electric Projects the number of foreign workers, both skilled and un-skilled increased substantially.

The department of Labour assumes responsibility for improving working conditions through labour protection and labour relations services. In addition, it administers foreign workers employed in the country.

The department works in close cooperation with employers and workers to encourage them to assume prime responsibility; for labour protection in workplaces, to raise awareness of relation between good protection and good business, and to highlight the importance of labour-management cooperation and productivity enhancement, based on improved protective measures.
