This is a descriptive study based on survey. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from HR personnel responsible for looking after the compliance issues in the workplace. The study reveals that the HR personnel faces the least challenge in eliminating child labor from the workplace followed by welfare facilities, safety provision, workplace condition, health provision, etc. Freedom of Association, Occupational Health and Safety training, Harassment and abuse, longer working hours are found to be most challenging to the HR personnel to handle within the factory premises. It also reveals that the most prominent challenge for the HR people in their way to implement compliance is the lack of top management support, followed by lack of awareness of the workers about their rights, lack of government intervention and poor literacy of workers. The findings imply that the owners of the garments need to change their attitude from mere profit making to sustainable business based on fairness and efficiency. Government, NGOs and trade unions should play their role to educate the workers about their rights. The government should demonstrate strong conviction to enforce the laws through training, dialog, and fair and frequent inspection.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Social Compliance in Ready-Made Garment Industry in Bangladesh: Challenges for HR Personnel","attachmentId":54820697,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/34958694/Social_Compliance_in_Ready_Made_Garment_Industry_in_Bangladesh_Challenges_for_HR_Personnel","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/34958694/Social_Compliance_in_Ready_Made_Garment_Industry_in_Bangladesh_Challenges_for_HR_Personnel"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="97582877" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/97582877/Managing_on_the_edge_a_multi_party_view_on_the_social_compliances_of_ready_made_garment_industry_in_Bangladesh">Managing on the edge : a multi-party view on the social compliances of ready made garment industry in Bangladesh</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="5784183" href="https://unimelb.academia.edu/KanikaMeshram">Kanika Meshram</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2013</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">There have been multiple calls to examine the issues surrounding exploitation of workers in Ready Made Factories in Bangladesh in their own right. In response to their call this study presents a preliminary exploration into the social compliance system within RMG factories by taking support of the compliance theory established in management literature. In-depth interviews and observations of 50 workers and managers from three large RMG factories are used in the study. An initial guiding framework for social compliance system is developed to assess the capabilities and commitment of RMG workers and managers and suggests managerial implication to RMG firms on ways to socially comply with fair work practices in their factories.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Managing on the edge : a multi-party view on the social compliances of ready made garment industry in Bangladesh","attachmentId":99164743,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/97582877/Managing_on_the_edge_a_multi_party_view_on_the_social_compliances_of_ready_made_garment_industry_in_Bangladesh","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/97582877/Managing_on_the_edge_a_multi_party_view_on_the_social_compliances_of_ready_made_garment_industry_in_Bangladesh"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="15783894" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/15783894/LABOUR_STANDARDS_IN_THE_BANGLADESH_GARMENT_INDUSTRY_A_POLITICAL_ECONOMY_PERSPECTIVE_LABOUR_STANDARDS_IN_THE_BANGLADESH_GARMENT_INDUSTRY_A_POLITICAL_ECONOMY_PERSPECTIVE">LABOUR STANDARDS IN THE BANGLADESH GARMENT INDUSTRY: A POLITICAL ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE LABOUR STANDARDS IN THE BANGLADESH GARMENT INDUSTRY: A POLITICAL ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="34973776" href="https://laurentian.academia.edu/SadequlIslam">Sadequl Islam</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"LABOUR STANDARDS IN THE BANGLADESH GARMENT INDUSTRY: A POLITICAL ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE LABOUR STANDARDS IN THE BANGLADESH GARMENT INDUSTRY: A POLITICAL ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE","attachmentId":38794053,"attachmentType":"docx","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/15783894/LABOUR_STANDARDS_IN_THE_BANGLADESH_GARMENT_INDUSTRY_A_POLITICAL_ECONOMY_PERSPECTIVE_LABOUR_STANDARDS_IN_THE_BANGLADESH_GARMENT_INDUSTRY_A_POLITICAL_ECONOMY_PERSPECTIVE","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/15783894/LABOUR_STANDARDS_IN_THE_BANGLADESH_GARMENT_INDUSTRY_A_POLITICAL_ECONOMY_PERSPECTIVE_LABOUR_STANDARDS_IN_THE_BANGLADESH_GARMENT_INDUSTRY_A_POLITICAL_ECONOMY_PERSPECTIVE"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="3" data-entity-id="90145863" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/90145863/Implementation_of_the_Core_International_Labour_Rights_Regime_in_Bangladesh_Garments_Industries_and_Its_Challenges">Implementation of the Core International Labour Rights Regime in Bangladesh Garments Industries and Its Challenges</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="138288395" href="https://independent.academia.edu/MdSalahUddin54">Md Salah Uddin</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Journal of Asian and African Social Science and Humanities</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">The theory of ‘core labour rights’ is the well-known set of universally established minimum best practices and safeguards in respect of some basic labour standards. known as core labour standards in the world economy.

Thus, it is submitted that the local jurisdiction of Bangladesh has a poor application of international core labour standards and the ILO conventions which causes uncountable dilemmas to the humanity and the peaceful garments industries.

More than 75% of foreign earnings are coming from this very important sector of Bangladesh. Presently, more than four million workers are working in 4,500 RMG companies in which 90% are illiterate women came from the rural areas of Bangladesh (Islam & Muntaquimul Bari Chowdhuri, 2014). The policymakers and the employers of this sector claim that the growth of garment sector has helped employing a huge number of rural women that has subsequently developed their socioeconomic status in Bangladesh. But, it is a concern of the national and internal observers that the labor laws and other compliances like factory laws, industrial relations laws, employment laws, payment of wages laws, ILO standards, ethics applied in this sector are hardly followed by the RMG companies which are making the lives of these workers very difficult. Sometimes, these workers are exploited by employing more hours a day without the payment of overtime by capitalizing their illiteracy and submissiveness. Hence, this paper aims at identifying the level of application of the labor laws and other compliances in RMG industry of Bangladesh that is the only protective measures of this large number of female workers of this important sector of Bangladesh. A total of 238 workers of this sector were interviewed in this study with a structured questionnaire. Multivariate analysis techniques such as, Factor Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis were used to analyze the data collected from the workers on the application of labor laws and other compliances of these companies. The results show that in case of measures for protecting sexual harassment there is a severe problem of the use of the labor laws in this sector followed by physical movement and access control of workers, exit and access path of the company, working hours, and counseling arrangements in the company. This study suggests that the readymade garment companies should address the sexual harassment issue seriously so that the workers will feel safe at their work.
