OS Hub Spotlight: Programs

Programs

This section shows whether program data is available for this production location through integrations with Spotlight Partners. Program data refers to information on initiatives, interventions, or organized activities implemented at a production location to improve labor practices, management systems, social outcomes, environmental practices, or other aspects of responsible business conduct. These activities may be implemented by brands, suppliers, NGOs, trade unions, multi-stakeholder initiatives, or other organizations.

Where did this data come from?

OS Hub acts as a connector, surfacing where data about programs exists and linking to the relevant partner platform that holds it. The presence of a data point here means that one or more OS Hub partners have data on programs linked to this production location's OS ID. Each partner's data reflects their own methodology and scope.

OS Hub does not assess the quality, effectiveness, outcomes, or impact of a program, nor does the presence of this data in a facility profile mean that these are the only programs being implemented at this location. 

If you’re running a program or programs at one or more production locations, let us know, we’d be happy to explore adding them to OS Hub.

How can you use this data?

Program data can provide important context for understanding the history and landscape of interventions across production locations. When combined with other facility and supply chain information, it can help organizations make more informed decisions about where, how, and with whom to engage when designing or strengthening programs and interventions across supply chains.

Some potential use cases include:

  • Creating institutional memory by maintaining a record of programs that have taken place across production locations, helping organizations understand the history of interventions and build on previous efforts.
  • Assessing intervention saturation and avoiding duplicative programming by identifying and coordinating with other actors already engaged at a facility.
  • Identifying disparities in the coverage and thematic focus of programs across facilities or regions, and using this evidence to inform more strategic allocation of resources toward underserved locations or issues.
  • Coordinating the sequencing of interventions to create a more connected ecosystem of support and greater continuity between programs over time.
  • Informing brand due diligence by providing visibility not only into risks and gaps at a facility, but also into existing programs, supplier improvements, and positive measures already undertaken to address identified issues.
  • Reaching out to collaborate with organizations already running programs at a specific facility or in a specific region, rather than starting new engagements from scratch

Note that accessing the full data may require an account or subscription with the partner. Follow the link to the partner's website to find out more about access requirements. Even without full access, knowing that data exists can support all of the use cases above.

From the Partners

RISE Workplace Programs

View Spotlight data

RISE accelerates equality and opportunity for workers in global supply chains, driving positive impacts for workers and the businesses they sustain. At the factory level, RISE partners with brands, suppliers and local partners to deliver workplace programs focused on gender equality, financial health, and respect and safety. RISE currently works across 10 countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Egypt, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. Between 2023 and 2025, RISE reached over one million workers, resulting in increased skills, knowledge, and confidence.

Data points

  • Status: indicates if the workplace program has been completed at the facility.
  • Year: the year when the workplace program was completed.

Methodology

RISE workplace programs across respect, safety and financial health strengthen workplaces, and elevate worker voice by focusing on different dimensions of worker wellbeing and business resilience. Together, these programs reflect RISE's broader theory of change: pairing workplace-level behavior change with market and systems change to advance opportunity, agency, and equality for workers. Learn more about RISE's impact model and theory of change on our website.

Current workplace programs:

  • RISE Financial Health is a 12-month workplace program that builds factory workers’ confidence and skills to save, budget, and use financial services. By combining worker training with practical support for managers, the program helps factories identify and promote financial products and services that are accessible and relevant to workers. RISE Financial Health helps workers strengthen their financial resilience, so they are better able to absorb shocks and make informed financial decisions. At the same time, employers benefit from a more secure, confident, and reliable workforce.
  • RISE Respect is a 12-month workplace program that helps prevent and remediate gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH). The program is delivered in factories through an interactive curriculum focused on role-playing and reflection. It brings women and men workers and managers together to shift the attitudes and behaviors that enable violence and harassment. It
    also provides management with practical support to strengthen the policies and mechanisms that
    prevent and address GBVH. Employers benefit too as safe and respectful workplaces retain staff
    and are more productive and resilient.
  • RISE Foundations is a 12-month workplace program focused on life-skills-development that builds
    factory workers’ confidence and capability. It combines mandatory modules on topics like problem solving, workers’ rights and self-management with a supplementary package that management can select based on workers’ needs and interests. This allows a deeper focus on either financial or mental and physical health. Workers leave the program with greater confidence, practical knowledge, and the ability to shape their own lives at work and at home.
  • RISE Digital is an app-based workplace program for workers and managers in global supply chains. It delivers practical learning on health, financial resilience, healthy relationships, and stress
    management, while building the digital skills that open doors well beyond the factory.

Legacy programs from HERproject

  • HERhealth, a RISE legacy program, was a workplace program that trained women workers as peer health educators who shared practical health knowledge across the factory floor. The program improved health awareness and behavior, reduced sickness-related absence, and reached hundreds of thousands of women worldwide. Now part of RISE.
  • HERfinance, a RISE legacy program, was a workplace program that helped factories move from
    cash to digital wages and trained workers to budget, save, and manage their accounts with
    confidence. It brought many low-income workers into the financial system for the first time, laying
    the groundwork for RISE Financial Health.
  • HERessentials, a RISE legacy program, was a digital training package created to support workers, especially women, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its open-source content covered health, financial security, and protection from violence, allowing training to continue when in-person programs could not run. Its approach laid the groundwork for RISE Digital.
  • HERrespect, a RISE legacy program, was a workplace program that cultivated more equitable
    relationships and attitudes among women and men to help prevent violence at work and in
    intimate relationships. Through interactive sessions built on reflection and role-playing, it
    strengthened workers' skills while supporting management to improve the policies and systems that prevent and address workplace violence. It laid the groundwork for RISE Respect.
  • HERmanagement, a RISE legacy program, was a workplace program that trained managers on
    gender sensitivity and communication. It guided factories to assess and strengthen their
    management systems to better support women workers. By combining training with workplace
    dialogue and practical improvements, it helped embed gender equality in how workplaces are
    run. Now part of RISE.
