The Parents Training allowed me to reflect on my parenting style and how I can improve as a parent. Then when I came home, I gave the training to my husband and mother-in-law as they also spend time with my daughter and need to be informed about these important issues like coping with stress, communication and providing a better environment for the child at home.

I felt supported by the factory management. They have tried to understand our difficulties as parent workers. I hope we can have more parenting training like this in the future.

With the parenting knowledge and skills they learned, they can achieve better work-life balance and improve their productivity at work, creating greater values for the company. On the other hand, these training sessions showed workers that the company cares for them. Some workers told me after the training that they felt that the company thought about aspects that even they themselves overlooked and they really appreciate the company’s effort… We’ll consider offering more such trainings to our employees in the future

The migrant parent worker training and Photovoice programme allowed us to support these parents and improve their relationship with their children back home. A secondary motivation has been to help factory management decrease turnover by improving worker satisfaction and loyalty. We’ve seen success in both areas

One of the best takeaways from our MPT and photovoice projects (besides the obvious and important benefits for the families) has been better connecting factory workers with factory management. Projects like these, and family friendly policies in the workplace, help bridge a gap and show the workers that management values them and cares about their families
