There are nine Regional Employers Organisations (REOs) in England, one in Wales and one in Northern Ireland.

The REOs between them provide services to almost all local authorities and many other public bodies.

Services provided are broadly in the areas of Human Resource Management, Employee Relations, Management Practice and Organisational Development and include advice and guidance; learning & development; research;
policy development and consultancy. Most also support a number of networks in their regions, sharing best practice
in a wide range of subjects.

In addition, the REOs are an important link between local authorities and key regional and national bodies.

Each of the REOs is funded directly by their subscribing members and they operate on a not-for-profit basis.
