HUMAN RESOURCES
Capable People. Responsible Employers. More Reliable Suppliers.
Selecting the right supplier is not only about price, technology, production capacity and quality systems. A supplier’s ability to recruit, train, retain and manage its employees directly affects productivity, product quality, delivery reliability and continuous improvement.
During supplier evaluations and factory visits, FactoryUniC pays close attention to workforce organization and human resources management practices. We review areas such as organizational structure, roles and responsibilities, workforce stability, employee turnover and absenteeism, recruitment and onboarding, training, competency management, overtime, internal communication and available employment-related documentation.
We also assess visible evidence that suppliers manage their employees responsibly and follow applicable labor requirements and the specific expectations agreed with our clients. When potential workforce-related risks or management gaps are identified, we report them clearly and can coordinate improvement actions and follow-up directly with the supplier.
This helps our clients reduce operational, quality, delivery, legal, supply-chain and reputational risks when sourcing or manufacturing in China.
