QuizRR impact assessment by Raoul Wallenberg Institute

Through the Impact Assessment for Axfoundation, QuizRR have gained valuable insight and knowledge on how the training with QuizRR Rights and Responsibilities has been conducted and perceived. Especially what impact the gained knowledge has had on people's lives, attitudes and actions as well as insight regarding the increased complexity and issues for brands operating in China. The recommendations made in the report are much appreciated, with most of the highlighted issues already addressed or in the process of being addressed.

- The study shows increased knowledge in important issues such as fire safety, health, maternity leave, overtime regulations and dialogue. In order to further enhance real change QuizRR has developed training modules for deeper knowledge on workplace dialogue, wage management, ethical recruitment and involuntary work, as well as a blended learning set up, where we work with face to face and digital training in combination, explains Sofie Nordström, Co-Founder QuizRR.

The way forward - Going beyond audit
Business relations can and should be used as a driver for long-term improvement. Real change starts with building knowledge and raising awareness, transforming attitudes and actions, strategies and systems. Collaborations, between businesses and other stakeholders, such as NGO's, union and experts is essential to create sustainable change.
