Changing Overtime: Tackling supply chain labour issues through business practice
A report on a collaborate project in China to reduce excessive overtime by improving factory productivity, human resource management and communication.
This publication gives convincing evidence that a new approach to tackling labour standards issues, focused on change over time rather than strict compliance, can have a positive impact on even the most intractable problems. It tells the story of a collaborative project in China which aimed to reduce excessive overtime without reducing wages, through building the factories’ own capacity to improve productivity, human resource management and internal communication. The lessons learnt from this project can be applied to a wide range of sectors and countries.
