Strategy

Making the Business Case for Responsible Labor

Our Three-Phased Approach: Research → Action → Dissemination

Understanding that the quickest way to drive change in companies is to show decision makers how that change improves competitiveness, we have designed this project to focus on making the business case to business owners, executives, and investors in the region.

Complementary Strategies: Top-Down and Bottom-Up

There are various projects in the region focusing on training supervisors and workers in national labor law and international labor standards with the goal that the workers themselves demand their labor rights from their employer.  Our strategy complements these projects by showing management the business case to going above and beyond labor laws and standards so that management feels incentivized to invest in his/her workers through responsible labor.
