The SA 8000 International Standard encourages organizations to develop, maintain and apply socially accepted work environment practices. Founded in 1989 by Sai, a member of the economic priorities Committee, it is the most widely recognized independent working standard in the world, applicable to organizations of any size around the world. The areas covered by the SA8000 standard include child labour, occupational health and safety, freedom of association and collective bargaining, discrimination, punishment, working hours, remuneration and management systems. In addition to developing world-wide workplace standards, SA 8000 also adopts existing international agreements, including International Labor Organization Conventions, global declaration of human rights, United Nations Convention on the rights of the child, etc.
The SA8000 process can improve the attractiveness of an enterprise to existing and potential workers, and HR will carry out activities based on it, said keffman of CEPAA, "using SA8000 process has its pure economic value", she said. "If you are improving the training of workers, you will get healthier partners and more loyal employees. Having healthier partners means investing in workers, because you get a higher return on productivity and morale. The survey found that people will understand their work better, maintain a better level of training and become more qualified workers. People will be proud of the tendency to choose more ethical, human rights based companies.
