There are 4,000 garment factories and over four million garment workers in Bangladesh. Supporting workers to be able to use their accounts safely and confidently requires a concerted effort from all of the different organizations they come into contact with during the transition from cash to digital wages. HERproject has therefore explored a new way of engaging stakeholders who are important touchpoints for workers during wage digitization.
This included embedding key elements of HERproject’s Digital Wages program into their training in order to (i) increase workers’ confidence to use their digital payroll accounts; (ii) increase awareness of PIN safety and fraudulent activities and; (iii) increase awareness of relevant and appropriate financial products.
