CCR  CSR  Human  Resource  Training  in  MyanmarImproving  the  capacity  and  management  for  garment  industry  in  Myanmar

While  Myanmar’s  rapidly  growing  garment  industry  has  brought  a  wealth  of  opportunities,  it’s  not  surprising  that  the  industry  is  also  facing  a  host  of  challenges.  These  include  underdeveloped  HR  systems,  lack  of  innovative  management  skills,  low  productivity,  weak  age  verification  systems  that  lead  to  child  labor  and  ineffective  systems  for  integrating  young  workers  into  the  workforce.  Production  and  compliance  challenges  aside,  these  aspects  hinder  factories  from  working  with  larger  EU/US  buyers  in  the  market.  

The  Challenges

What  do  we  offer?   What  do  our  services  involve?

The  Center  for  Child  Rights  and  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  (CCR  CSR)  in  Myanmar  is  dedicated  to  helping  companies  improve  their  impact  on  children.  Our  local  team  in  Myanmar  works  closely  with  companies  to  make  sure  their  business  is  aligned  with  the  Children’s  Rights  and  Business  Principles  (CRBP).  

CCR  CSR  emphasizes  the  importance  of  the  business  case,  knowing  that  changes  in  factories  towards  better  protection  of  children,  juvenile  workers  and  support  for  working  parents  will  be  substantial only  if  they  are  linked  to  more  effective  and  efficient  Human  Resources  Management  that  positively  impacts  the  factory’s  business.  

Who  are  we?  

Improved  HR  servicesIn  particular  services  related  to  age  verification  and  ensuring  that  child  labor  is  prevented  in  one’s  own  companies  and  among  sub-­‐suppliers  &  sub-­‐contractors.

Strong  child  labor  prevention  &  remediation  systemsA  robust  system  that  ensures  child-­‐labor  free  facilities  all  the  way  to  the  sub-­‐contractor  level.  

Inclusive  productionA  strong  focus  on  creating  an  inclusive  production  environment  that  can support  the  integration  of  juvenile  workers  and  pregnant  workers  who  might  have  shorter  hours  and  higher  requirements  in  terms  of  health  &  safety.

Assessment  CCR  CSR  will  conduct  an  assessment  in  the  factory  to  find  out  the  strengths  and  weaknesses  of  the  factory  HR  management  system.  CCR  CSR  will  develop  the  proposal  for  the  training  and  consult  with  the  factory  based  on  the  assessment  results.

Factory  TrainingThe  training  will  be  conducted  based  on  the  assessment  and  the  training  duration  will  be  based  on  the  needs  of  factory.

Monitoring  &  EvaluationThe  training  project  will  be  closely  monitored  and  a  comprehensive  evaluation  will  be  carried  out  upon  closure  of  the  training.
