BSR Insight | Building a Baseline on Worker Empowerment Programs
Worker empowerment efforts—any activity helping workers take a stronger role in asserting and protecting their own rights—are critical to building strong management-worker relationships, increasing worker productivity, and preventing work stoppages in supply chains.
BSR's Beyond Monitoring Working Group includes worker empowerment as a primary pillar in promoting supply chain sustainability, and we are launching a survey to capture baseline information on the worker empowerment programs that companies across all sectors have used in their supply chains.
The survey findings will help companies identify opportunities to develop or expand worker empowerment programs through the identification of models, partners, and lessons learned. The results will be published in a report available to the public in early 2011, and it will also be sent to all survey participants.
To participate, please access the survey here, or contact Blythe Chorn.
