The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) said the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition programme includes a number of 'positive messages' with regards to business taxation and employment regulation.
Measures to reduce red tape, promote small business procurement, review IR35 and make regulatory inspections more targeted were highlighted by the organisation.
Tom Hadley, director of external relations of the REC, said that the government's commitment to reducing regulatory burdens and cutting bureaucracy is one of the most impressive elements of the programme.
He added: 'The coalition programme provides a broad outline of what lies ahead, the next few months will be about joining up the dots and ensuring that our collective voice is at the forefront of these major debates.'
Mr Hadley also said that he is concerned that public sector spending cuts will have an impact on the government's use of agency staff but pointed out that the REC will continue to champion the merits of using temporary workers.
Freelancing organisation PCG also welcomed the coalition programme, claiming that the review of IR35 will help the UK's smaller companies.
