Contexto |
Increasing global competition puts pressure on enterprises to continually upgrade their productivity. Multinationals demand that supplier firms and subcontractors comply with codes of conduct to safeguard international labour and environmental standards. SMEs must improve their business and management operations, but often practical training and consulting programmes are unaffordable and unavailable to them. SCORE focuses on developing cooperative relations in the workplace. Workers and managers participate to a series of classroom training sessions on workplace cooperation, quality management, human resources, OHS. |
Objetivos |
The objective of SCORE Phase II is to have national institutions providing, independently from the ILO and donor funding, SCORE training to SMEs to improve their working conditions, productivity and competitiveness. The overall objective is that SMEs become cleaner, more productive and competitive and provide more and better jobs |
