- Tripartite Constituents, BW Global and Country programmes, and Donor.
- challenges:
- Sometimes it was difficult for companies to find the persons with the right qualifications for the different types of training, and the time required for the training itself was also regularly mentioned as a challenge as the trainees must combine it with their work and the needs of their families.
- success:
- The employers’ organisations in both countries (GEFP and EFC) are planning to implement the respective ToT trainings themselves for their members. GEFP is committed to draft a dissemination plan for ToT this year. EFC will re-structure its own training program based on the BW ToT and it will be exploring jointly with BW and NIOSH a digitized form to provide access to digital training tools via BW training portal (e.g., important for companies located in remote areas). Some trade unions are also including OSH in their awareness programs for their members. In both countries some factories already started to adapt their own training programme to GEAR having realized the important effects of GEAR training on performance, promotion, etc.
- context:
- The focus should be on the tripartite constituents and their capacity, knowledge and awareness of social compliance and decent work, as opposed to the BW Traditional approach in which the focus is on factory-assessments by a large team of enterprise advisors paid by BW and in part by contributions from factories and brands as payments for factory services rendered by these advisors.
- description:
- Training on decent work conditions, social compliance and social dialogue has enhanced the interest of constituents to such a degree that several employers’ and workers’ organisations are now providing such training to their members/staff. This is one of the key elements of the innovative BW approach (BW Light) as it focuses on the constituents being trained and made aware up to the point where they will take the initiative to sustain the process.
