Program Description:
Companies regularly look for different ways to expand their manufacturing and supply networks to more efficiently and effectively serve global markets. But how much do they actually know about and adhere to the labor and employment laws of the countries in which they and their supply chains operate? When tragedy strikes, and the health, safety, and well-being of workers make headlines around the world, the news is often accompanied by a public outcry about the company’s failure to understand the local markets in which it operates or from which it sources products and services.
This webinar will feature experienced lawyers from Bangladesh, China, and India, all of which are at the heart of many organizations’ supply chains. They will provide practical insight and guidance on the following worker safety-related issues.
