Worker Rights & Well-being
Worker Rights & Well-being focus on ensuring fair treatment, dignity, and safety for all employees. Protecting workers from exploitation and providing access to healthcare and support systems are fundamental to maintaining a productive and ethical work environment.
1. Preventing Forced Labor and Exploitation
- Workers must be employed voluntarily, without coercion, threats, or deception.
- Employers should comply with international labor laws such as those set by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to prevent unfair wages, excessive working hours, or unsafe conditions.
- Transparency in contracts, wages, and job roles helps safeguard workers against exploitation.
2. Ensuring Freedom of Movement & Protection Against Illegal Confinement
- Workers should have the right to move freely within and outside their accommodations without unlawful restrictions from employers.
- Employers must not confiscate passports, work permits, or identification documents, which is a violation of human rights.
- Accommodation facilities should provide security without restricting workers’ ability to leave or access external services.
3. Access to Medical Care and Grievance Mechanisms
- Medical Care: Workers should have access to healthcare services, including emergency medical treatment and routine checkups. Employers must ensure health insurance or medical support as required by labor laws.
- Grievance Mechanisms: A proper system should be in place where workers can report concerns, workplace violations, or unfair treatment without fear of retaliation.
- Worker Support Programs: Psychological and social support systems should be available to assist workers in dealing with stress, mental health concerns, and workplace issues.
