HERproject, Business for Social Responsibility
The HERproject of Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) is designed to help demonstrate the business case for onsite investments in the health of factory workers, particularly female workers. Too often, investments in worker health are viewed as hurting the bottom line and reducing profits of factories and suppliers from the developing world.
In fact, factories that put money into health services for workers find that such spending earns a return on the investment (ROI), or, at worst, is budget neutral. The savings come from such business benefits as lower rates of turnover and absenteeism, fewer overtime costs, fewer production errors and greater output.
HERproject (Health Enables Returns) will help put the tools in the hands of factory management
for determining the return on investment for their spending on worker health.
