Wagely workshop on financial management for RMG workers
Financial wellness platform Wagely Bangladesh this week hosted its sixth "wagely day" on the premises of garment manufacturer SQ Group.
Over 2,300 workers participated in the two-day activity, which is a core element in wagely's efforts to increase worker financial resilience, said a press release.
By conducting financial health surveys, workshops, and raffle draws, wagely motivates participating workers to learn about the importance of personal financial management and how they can become more financially healthy.
The platform is collaborating with United Nations Capital Development Fund in a pilot project to develop individualised financial wellbeing services that help garment workers, particularly female workers, become more financially independent.
In the last one year, wagely has partnered with some of the largest garment manufacturers, including SQ Group, ICC, Desh Garments, Ha-meem, Triple Apparels, Khantex Fashions and the Zaber & Zuber Fabrics.
"Talking to the workers in the factories directly allows us to explain the concept of financial health and money management more effectively," said Amrita Vir, acting country manager of Wagely Bangladesh.
Shahriat Hossain, general manager of SQ Group, was present.
