Services to improve workers’ lives, incentives to improve companies.

From extemporisation to good practices. An incentive to productivity.

In a supermarket warehouse, one of the neon lights starts flashing and it is close to switching off, however no one intervenes for the timely replacement.

The shelves have no way to intervene independently and do not report the thing, so much it’s evident. The department heads do not take up too much work or simply have no time to make the replacement.

When the neon is off now, a phase of discomfort begins due to the fact that there is a change in the warehouse lighting but, basically, it is located in a marginal area. Even if a better light acts directly on the quality of the work, in the long run you get used to it.

Several days later another neon is discharged, then, forced, they proceed in an improvised way to replace both. However, new problems arise. It is not known exactly where the neon lights are suitable for replacement, there are different sizes and in the end only one is replaced by the new one, while the other excited the gas seems to “work again”. The problem is partially solved and new lamps are generally bought for future events.

In many business realities, it is clear that the sole purpose of the business is important, that is to say, in short, sales effectiveness. Under such organizational circumstances, it is easy to underestimate secondary aspects of production, such as changing a neon lamp. This is not fair.

Laborware assists companies, through dedicated tools, in the process of restructuring the management control of the company organization.

A simple neon lamp can improve various business aspects, first of all the quality of work. In fact, a safe working environment is an environment that also respects the rules on correct lighting.

Assuming we are in the same problem, the worker can easily report the failure of the neon through the Laborware Platform, by communicating directly with the department head and the company. Such a simple gesture is actually of great importance, because it provides the company with new information on which to make choices that are not trivial at all.

A simple faulty neon lamp reported by a worker mainly gives the measure of replacement times, that is from when the replacement takes place to when it is resolved. Comparisons with similar types of maintenance help to measure the quality of this activity. This comparison on the platform is internal to the company as well as external, i.e. compared with similar companies, of course using aggregate data that does not affect confidentiality.

The persistence of the data then allows the possibility of improving the organization of maintenance itself, in terms of quality and quantity, therefore a better supply strategy (of the lamps in this case), a mapping of the faults that can be fundamental in the identification of systematic infrastructure problems (i.e. it could be convenient, through data analysis, to check the electrical system, or even invest in a new-generation one).

The result will be a work environment under control and quality, where you can work safely and in compliance with the rules, with a lowering of the level of errors in production. Productivity will necessarily benefit and the worker will be above all more involved in the production process and responsible, because if on the one hand he can contribute personally with the reports, on the other he will be more aware of being able to access quickly and transparently the information relating to the productive process.

In the fair programs, companies will learn to prefer the continuous consolidation of Good Practices, abandoning forever the improvised intervention approach where it is almost always apparent randomities that prevail and deteriorate the working environment

The competitive advantage of being Fair.

Obtaining Laborware Fair certification is synonymous with quality. It is the will of a company to participate in the shared development of sustainable growth.  It is the realization of a fairer world and in synergy with man and nature.

In a fair company, the responsibility and sense of belonging of the worker increases, new ideas are stimulated that are taken into consideration and implemented, in the strategic vision of continuous improvement.

The entire value chain is controlled. You do not try to simply reduce costs, you invest in a production with high added value, interacting directly on the whole chain, making a network.

A brand focused on sustainability is a winner and opens to the future. It is ready for new challenges.  Adhering to the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda on Decent Work and Innovation and infrastructure improvement does not mean making sacrifices but investments that create well-being for society as a whole.

Laborware provides the best tools to pursue these objectives together, from the most exclusive tools and utilities to marketing leverage (to reach new customers but also to attract the best workers).

Fair Certification is not a prize but a shared mission towards a dynamic model of improvement of workers’ health standards and safety at work, constant improvement in the use of resources and investments, especially on human capital with corporate welfare and continuous training towards a transparent model. In fact fair companies are open. They make their information available to workers and other fair companies, they adopt Good Practices and share them to grow together and improve the world of the future.

Being a certified fair company means being a virtuous model. It means sharing business success on all scales of value, from the employee employed to the company, to the supplier, to the partner, to the investor and above all to the customers who in the fair mission recognize themselves and belong to it or would like to recognize themselves and belong to it. Customers that, in the future we live, they will be increasingly attentive and sensitive to the choice of quality products, at the right price and sustainable.
