BWV management
challenges:
Although EAs reported that they were well trained so that their work focuses on building ownership at the factory level, some reported (3 EAs) that the induction training is very knowledge heavy. Rather than trying to cover everything in the first 3 months, a suggestion was to investigate which knowledge is essential at the beginning of training, and perhaps organise refresher courses after 6 months.
success:
Most EAs interviewed felt the training was adequate, but they learn a lot on the job. EAs reported that they learn a lot from meeting EAs from other BW countries. Processes that facilitate EAs to share learning with each other are important elements of BW. On the whole, induction training provides EAs with a smooth entry into BWV providing them with both practical skills and information they require to get started in assessing and advising factories. Induction training is conducted within the BWV workplace by experienced trainers. The training also helps new EAs become integrated into BWV and learn about international labour standards more generally.
context:
Training is systematic with a more or less continuous cycle of analysis, activity and evaluation over three months. EAs may often require solid training in industrial relations and labour standards, particularly if they previously come from the NGO sector.
description:
EAs undergo intensive induction training in order to enable them to do their work in a professional manner within an enterprising environment.
administrative_issues:
BWV invest heavily in training EAs. New EAs follow a very systematic induction training course, which may require some modifications such as more opportunities to share experiences.
