When workers are treated better-- businesses perform better. Our tools aren't just about compliance they are about creating successful environments for all stakeholders. 

Decent working conditions is not just an abstract concept, but the reality for millions of people around the world. Do your due diligence processes identify heat stress and other workplace safety risks? Do you ask workers if they feel unwell because of their job? Consider both proactive and reactive reporting from your value chain partners, and ask our experts about how to implement a comprehensive HRDD strategy!

Did you know that WOVO has “Sizeable Economic Returns” for Businesses. An academic study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business and the University of Hawaii at Manoa studied the effectiviness of WOVO and its impact on suppliers' bottom line Over the course of seven months, only five percent of workers in the treatment group used WOVO to proactively ask a question, suggest or make a report to management. Still, business and worker outcomes drastically improved, suggesting that the mere availability of WOVO is enough to improve worker engagement and improve the bottom line. In the paper’s conclusion, researchers found that “simply knowing it is possible to communicate concerns effectively, even if concerns arise only sporadically, increases worker utility enough to change workplace outcomes.” The Report’s Rate of Return Calculation Section stated: “Attendance and retention benefits totaled about 💲25,000 USD, implying a net rate of return of approximately 52%.” 📈 👷♂️ Workers in the treatment group were 5% less likely to be absent than workers in the control group. 👨💼👩💼 Workers and management found WOVO to be easy to use and that it brought a positive change in the work culture. 📱 Almost all workers owned a phone or had access to a phone. However, only 50% had a smartphone, indicating that in India SMS continues to be a critical functionality to make available to workers in WOVO facilities. The study showed that investing in worker voice technologies, such as WOVO, can drive long term profits by reducing costly worker turnover and absenteeism.

Vietnam and Thailand seem to be reading the new supply chain legislation as an opportunity to distinguish their countries as more aligned with decent work, specifically providing a dignified or living wage, and other international human rights. This could prove to be an advantage for attracting customers in the EU and others who want to ensure that their value chains will not be compromised by forced labor or other issues that could cause business disruption or legal and financial reputations. https://lnkd.in/gvTjPJGu
