    1990s Washington Employers anticipated the need for specialized HR expertise and provided HR experts to our members on a comprehensive on-call, part-time and full-time basis, allowing our members to focus their attention on their own specific organizations and business needs. Our popular “Economic Briefing” was established which forecasts economic trends and based on key data from our recognized wage and salary surveys began to provide the information needed for key compensation decisions.
    1980s A fourth major service came about, the “Group Workers’ Compensation Retrospective Rating Program”. This program allowed manufacturing and processing members to join with similar organizations and actively work towards a safer work environment.
    1950s A second service, Multi-Employer Medical and Pension Plans, came into existence. A third service called Management Services, consisted of representing members before governmental regulatory agencies and keeping members up-to-speed with the latest developments in the area of employee relations was introduced later.
    1947 The organization assumed the name Washington Employers, Inc. in order to expand to other industries and provide additional services.
    1936 Founded in 1936, the organization was formed by a group of employers in the metal trades industry who saw the need for a business league that would help promote employer cooperation and coordination in the field of labor and employee relations. The league quickly grew both in numbers and diversity resulting in the expansion of their employee-relations services.
