Just Good Work

Fifty Eight is partnering with other organisations to create Just Good Work.
​
Just Good Work is an information platform that enables migrant job seekers and workers to receive simple, concise and accurate information, on both their journey to employment and experience of life and work in their destination country.

The increase in migration for work has led to a wider range of risks to workers. The absence of local knowledge and connections in their destination, makes migrants inherently vulnerable to unscrupulous and criminal recruitment and employment practices.
​
These range from receiving inaccurate information on the nature of the work they are migrating for; to entrapment in situations of forced labour driven by physical, emotional or financial coercion.

Companies are increasingly seeking to create responsible recruitment practices through initiatives like the Leadership Group for Responsible Recruitment, and industry commitments that no worker should pay for a job i.e. the Consumer Goods Forum, International Tourism Partnership and the Apparel and Footwear industry.
​

Responsible recruitment

The aims of Just Good Work are:

• To inform workers on their rights and responsibilities, both as job-seekers at home, and in their chosen destination
• To provide workers with access to legal and practical help, at home and abroad
• Equip them to apply for jobs that are legitimate, worthwhile and appropriate to their skills and abilities
• To Empower them to be safer, free from abuse, deception and debt bondage

Fifty Eight reinvests all profits into Just Good Work.
