The Association for Temping and Outsourcing Agencies (AFTA) has been officially established to represent Malta’s leading private stakeholders in the outsourcing and temping sector—an industry that plays a crucial role in the Maltese economy.

With its members employing tens of thousands across various key sectors, AFTA’s mission is to promote ethical standards, good governance, fairness, and transparency within the industry. The association seeks to ensure the sustainable growth of the temping and outsourcing sector by advocating for positive change and engaging with stakeholders, policymakers, and decision-makers. AFTA aims to offer expert recommendations that reinforce the industry’s integrity.

AFTA’s core objectives include:

Eliminating illegal, unethical, and irregular practices in the temping and outsourcing industry;

Ensuring a level playing field through fairness and transparency; and

Promoting active dialogue with policymakers and industry stakeholders.

“We are committed to supporting the positive contributions made in this industry while working to eradicate irregular and exploitative practices,” said Fabio Muscat, President of AFTA. “By engaging proactively with authorities and stakeholders, we aim to promote ethical standards, regulatory enforcement, and continuous communication.”

AFTA’s goals are to prevent the exploitation of employees, combat unregulated practices, and foster an industry that values integrity, protects workers, and contributes to a healthy, ethical labor market. Through collaboration with stakeholders, AFTA seeks to create a temping and outsourcing sector that is responsible, sustainable, trustworthy, and socially accountable for the benefit of all.

Focusing on four key pillars—economic sustainability, ethical governance, active policy engagement, and employee protection—AFTA will work closely with regulators to ensure the success of the industry and its positive impact on the wider economy.
