3wFantastic work, IDH! It's inspiring to see such comprehensive efforts to improve job quality across multiple dimensions. IDH Have you considered creating a platform for workers to share their stories and experiences? This could amplify the impact of your initiatives and provide real-time feedback for continuous improvement. Keep up the amazing work! ๐๐
