Empowering Garment Workers with Good Health
About the Toolkit
The Toolkit is designed to several sections
1. HEALTH & WELLNESS AND PRODUCTIVITY – We prioritize the well-being of garment workers towards productivity. The Toolkit offers a range of essential information on prevention and remedy measures of maintaining good health. Our aim is to assist the factory workers with simple and easy to understand texts in Bangla so that they are able to learn and apply those easily. The lined-up information on health matters are organized in a manner to answer the question WHAT – WHY and HOW factors. We also tried to provide information on affordable referral govt service facilities available in their close proximities; and also to the higher health care facilities for critical care, similarly applicable to do the follow up treatment for longer duration. The well-being of the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) workers is integral to sustained productivity. For the workers’ side, it is also important to maintain good health at personal level and collectively for higher productivity for the sectoral growth.
2. GARMENT WORKERS: This section contains several health issues those are contributing towords the personal wellbeing of the workers, as well as to keep the factory running well with increased productivity.

3. FACTORY OWNERS/MANAGEMENT: This section aims to serve the factory owners cum factory management with some evidence based good practices on the techniques and procedural aspects of generating awareness, introducing simple but low cost sustainable interventions on the wellbeing of the workers. Numerous research and studies showed that creating a supportive healthy working environment returns back many folds advantages in their respective factories.
In this segment we are presenting some useful information and techniques targeting the garment owners and management to consider in relation to general wellbeing of the workers. and making individual and collective good practice models in the RMG sector.
Health & wellness and productivity are integral to sustaining productivity in a factory setup – as the workers are the lifeline of production. Keeping in mind the fact the RMG sector is taking steps to the well-being of the factory workers by setting up health centers, care services, and other beneficial services available in each of their units. We learned that investment in the health and safety of workers is an important part of not just their well-being, but has also been found through case studies to have an impact on the bottom lines of firms (WHO, 2010). A healthy workforce is an asset as they are contributing to a more stable and efficient production environment. Prioritizing health initiatives within the RMG sector is a key investment in both workforce resilience and industry success. Here, the roles of both players i.e. the factory management and the workers are to be synchronized. This Toolkit is a “means of support” to add to their efforts.
