Better Factories, ILO Cambodia. Good supervisors help workers become more efficient and productive, bad ones affect morale and competitiveness. But when ordinary workers are promoted they often find it difficult to acquire the necessary skills. In Cambodia, a specially-created training programme is answering this need, helping train supervisors to be firm, fair and effective leaders in Cambodia’s US$2.5 billion garment industry.
‘Man’ is the principle syllable in ‘management’ yet the world of work is full of poor management practices that do not take the needs of the staff under supervision into account. Studies have shown that autocratic managerial styles and aggressive techniques do not result in productive workers. What motivates workers is a working environment where those who supervise them work with them, give them clear instructions, full support and encouragement. This is what the ILO in Cambodia is working to achieve.
