Program areas at Good World Solutions

Laborlink - laborlink is a technology-driven program that improves the lives of disadvantaged and disconnected workers at the base of global supply chains. Laborlink reached over 750,000 workers and farmers in 16 countries, including india, china, brazil, and bangladesh. The program leverages inexpensive mobile phone technology, including short message service (sms) and interactive voice response (ivr), to deliver critical information to workers on rights, health, education and financial security. The program also collects anonymous information directly from workers about their working and living conditions. That information, through a cloud-based infrastructure, is made available to multinational companies to inform them about conditions in their supply chains and/or workers' needs and job satisfaction. The platform creates a win-win for workers and for buyers/employers. Workers benefit from laborlink via increased access to empowering information and the ability to express their opinions confidentially, buyers and employers benefit from greater supply chain transparency, so they are able to identify and address problems early and often, designing interventions specifically targeted at worker needs.
