How Can I Effectively Approach Social Accountability Projects for Employees? Seeking Advice on Questionnaires and Analysis

Hi fellows,

I want to do a project on SA for employees. What should be the best way to proceed? Please help regarding questionnaires and specifically regarding analysis.

Thank you,
Bratish.

Have you checked into the SA-8000 standard for social accountability? It might provide the basis for your explorations.

Sir,

I've already checked the SA-8000 standards from SAI, but it didn't provide a detailed analysis for the same. Please help in this regard.

Hi,

Could you use the SA-8000 standard, as well as current concepts in corporate social responsibility, as the basis for the areas/questions you would want to include when you craft your questionnaire? This is a topic that I have increasing interest in, but none of my current research or clients have presented the opportunity to build this yet.

Cheers,
Bill Hefley

Hello Suryavrat,

I am trained in SA 8000, the Ethical Trading Initiative, and worldwide Responsible Apparel Production. I have worked closely with various companies engaged in the manufacturing sector. If you want to conduct a real survey, the situation is dismal in several sectors. Ask any labor inspector or trade union member, and they will give you the true story. However, I have seen worker interviews where workers are dismissed en masse the next day.

Asking a worker's family member, "What is the future of your kids?" would reveal all the details if posed by an NGO. Let me know what I can assist you with.

Best regards,
Suryavrat
