FAQ
- An introduction call (60 min) and agreement signing
- 1 hour of paid time is required for each worker on site to complete the training (this time can be split into 4 x 15mins slots if preferred)
- Access to tablets*, smartphones and/or desktop computers for all workers
- Time to review progress and remind workers to complete the training, easily done using Quizrr’s dashboard
- Attend a feedback call with New Balance (1 hour, this is in addition to the calls with Quizrr, and brings the total time required for external calls to approx. 6.5 hours per site)
Yes of course. If a site doesn’t have tablets, desktop computers or workers don’t have access to smartphones, that won’t exclude the site from training.
It depends on the size of the site and the time available. We encourage suppliers to support all workers to attend the training as much as possible, however, we will work with each site to set a realistic goal in terms of the % of workers to complete the training over the year.
We recommend an HR manager lead, or the person/team responsible for RBP compliance onsite.
Yes. Quizrr complies with all local and global data privacy laws, including GDPR. You can rest assured workers' personal data is protected during and after the pilot.
Yes. Each site will need to sign an agreement with Quizrr which covers personal data protection clauses. However, this is covered by New Balance.
- As part of our sustainability strategy, we are looking for new ways to support our suppliers and licensing partners to move beyond audits and strengthen worker training and engagement
- We hope that our suppliers, licensing partners and we at New Balance can learn from this training programme about how best to train and engage workers to foster worker dialogue and engagement. Training like this offered by New Balance doesn’t remove the need for suppliers to train workers themselves, on RBP topics or anything else but it does offer us all a learning opportunity
- A focus area for New Balance includes ensuring the rights and well-being of anyone involved in the production of New Balance products – an important component of this is ensuring workers are aware of their rights & protections and work, and the social responsibility activities of their workplaces.
- The courses have been developed by experts in social responsibility topics, as well as in e-learning technology and gamification
- Training is based on short film dramas, followed by quiz questions. The films cover real-life situations in factories, always in the local language and setting
- All training results are saved and displayed on a web portal, making it possible for suppliers and brands to measure and share progress
- Training programs aim to improve worker-manager relations, create stability and establish relationships and trust with the brand, which may lead to new business opportunities
