ledarna

Ledarna is a Swedish professional association and trade union for managers and executives. It represents managerial personnel across the private and public sectors and works to promote members' professional and employment interests, including working conditions, salaries and legal protection.

The organization provides a range of services including legal advice in employment matters, negotiation support, leadership development programs, and career coaching. It conducts salary and labour market surveys, offers educational courses and seminars, and arranges regional and national networking events aimed at strengthening leadership skills and professional networks.

Ledarna participates in collective bargaining for managerial positions where applicable and advocates on policy issues affecting leadership, labour market regulation and organisational conditions. The association emphasizes ethical leadership, professional standards and the role of managers in organisational development.

Organisationally, Ledarna operates through local branches and national offices that coordinate services, member support and public communications. It collaborates with other Swedish and international labour and professional organisations to influence policy and share best practices. Public-facing activities include research and reports on leadership trends, as well as guidance material for members.

Membership is open to individuals in managerial roles or those pursuing leadership careers. The association positions itself as politically independent and focused on advancing the professional interests and competencies of managers in a changing economic and regulatory environment.
