REFA Bundesverband e.V.
Association for Work Design, Industrial Organization and Company Development

The REFA Association is considered to be Germany’s leading organisation in work design, industrial organisation and company development. The association has transferred know-how since its foundation in 1924: for a long time through further education, for the past few years increasingly also through consulting and coaching. With its continuously further developed core competences REFA contributes to optimising the competitiveness of the economy as well as the working conditions of workers and employees.

The two core competences, further education and consulting, deal practically with all issues of the value added chain of a company. They cover all areas of business organisation for industry, administration and health management.

The REFA Methodology includes the traditional core knowledge of REFA which is continuously updated. The core methods focus on optimising work processes as well as on the determination and evaluation of operational data. The individual methods can be used as separate tool but they also complement each other. When methods and tools according to the REFA Methodology are used, it is possible to look at work processes in a systematic and holistic approach so that the entire value added chain of an organisation can be analysed and optimised.

Noteworthy of the REFA Methodology is its neutrality in tariff politics. Before a method is published, the content is checked by the Confederation of German Employers' Associations (BDA) and the German Confederation of Trade Unions (DGB). REFA is a non-profit organization.

With REFA-International, the REFA Association offers further education and consulting worldwide. International activities are carried out through certified local partners or directly from the REFA base in Germany.
