Our Goal
Learning is the foundation of Better Work’s approach to continuous improvement in factories and beyond. Our training focuses on ensuring factories, workers, employers, brands and governments throughout the global garment industry have the knowledge and expertise to ensure safe, respectful, productive workplaces.
We offer customised learning related to workplace communication, labour law, harassment prevention, industrial relations, gender equality and occupational safety and health. Centering around the needs of the learner and workplace, our behavioural change methodology addresses real world issues, ensuring learners leave with a concrete plan to drive lasting improvements in the workplace.
Training for factories
Training is an essential step in the Better Work’s factory improvement process which includes three integrated services: assessment, advisory services and 15 participant training days. Additional training days are available to purchase, offering a key opportunity for factories to build skills and capacity beyond the Worker-Management Committee.
