On January 29, 2013 Social Accountability International (SAI) issued a call for suppliers for its Brazil Worker Engagement Program.
According to the SAI internet site, “Established October 2012, SAI’s Worker Engagement Program aims to improve health and safety in workplaces of companies in the São Paulo region. This program is designed to help supplier factories enhance its health and safety systems to better meet international labor standards.
The program will work with groups of companies to set 100-day goals towards improving a specific health and safety issue. It will utilize the award-winning Rapid Results Institute methodology for change management to set and achieve goals through team building. It will also leverage cutting-edge mobile technology to help support internal communications during the process.”
A detailed description of the Brazil Worker Engagement Program (including a brochure for prospective supplier factories [in English and in Portuguese], details of contact persons, online registration and the program timetable) may be found on the SAI internet site.
