We received such a great response from our favorite question to ask workers post-- we thought we'd share some of our other favorite questions. Workers respond to all statements using a 1-5 scale. 1= strongly disagree to 5= strongly agree. What do you want hear about from value chain workers?

🗣️ The more workers know, the better able they are to protect themselves and speak up. Worker rights and responsibilities trainings are a cornerstone of any human rights due diligence program. That's why Labor Solutions collaborated with Better Work to create a Rights and Responsibilities digital training course. 🌐 Workers globally are already taking the course, and we've seen reports double in facilities where workers have completed the course. The course is available in several modules: 🏭Working conditions 🦺Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) 🤝Freedom of association and collective bargaining 🚫 Forced labour, child labour, and minimum age ✋Discrimination and elimination of violence at work Do your value chain workers know their rights and responsibilities?

I loved seeing so many clients, partners and collaborators yesterday at Coke! Great conversations are being had about human rights risks and how they relate to environmental impact, how to include logistics in our conversations about HRDD, and the potential for partners in the post-consumer waste space. I also heard more than one reference to the importance of involving workers directly as rightsholders, and the need for effective platforms for employers and workers as a first line of defense for working conditions—- this is exactly what our WOVO universe does, so it’s great to hear others see the value in our bottom-up, supplier-owned and worker-centered approach. There’s a lot of work to do in order to help companies and supply chains be ready for CSDDD, and future-proof companies are building these systems now. Please say hi if you are in Atlanta today!

Did you know that grievance mechanisms paired with digital training increase utilization by more than 2x. It seems obvious— obviously you have to know your rights to know they’re being violated. Still rights and responsibilities training is often left out of grievance mechanism implementation. Read this case study to see how one grievance mechanism saw an increase of reporting by 124% after implementing BW’s rights and responsibilities training to all workers. https://lnkd.in/ecUihumw

At Labor Solutions, we ask a lot of questions to workers, but there is one in particular that’s our favourite: Would you recommend your workplace to a friend or family member?” 🎯This simple yet powerful question forms the basis of the Worker Net Promoter Score (NPS), a key metric for gauging worker satisfaction and engagement. ❤️NPS is globally comparable and easy for workers to understand, providing invaluable insights into safety, retention, and overall workplace improvement. ✨This question enables us to differentiate between engaged workers, who feel heard and as a result may be more critical of their employer in other questions, from disengaged workers who responded negatively to other questions because they have legitimate unaddressed grievances. 🌍We always recommend asking the NPS question every survey. 📈 Our new survey reporting tool simplifies tracking NPS, grouping responses into Detractors, Passives, and Promoters. This helps employers understand worker sentiment and drive meaningful change. Engaged workers mean safer, more productive workplaces. Start measuring NPS with Labor Solutions and unlock the potential for real improvements in your organization.
