You can access all kinds of information and service details about our Workplace Working Conditions (WCA) service on the same day through Belcert Certification firm.
In our globalizing world, almost every company now provides services outside the main center of the transactions in which it operates in the supply part of its brand, products, and even services. When we look at the number of suppliers, these companies, which are quite high, have difficulties in making evaluations in all kinds of supplier areas, supplier service activities and products. Brands need to have information about some situations such as knowing the working environment of their suppliers, learning the conditions of the workplace, having information about the competencies in the social rights of the employees. If sampling is necessary, companies producing in their factories will need to follow the right strategy to differentiate them their competitors and to comply with all kinds of standards in the international market. In order to monitor this strategy, there is the WCA (Evaluation of Workplace Working Conditions) program, which has survived through INTERTEK and is widely used in our country, in other words, the Workplace Conditions Assessment program. Thanks to this program, it is ensured that brands, products and services are much simpler and always open to innovations and improvements.
WHAT IS WCA CONSULTING?
It has developed a set of assessment tools and audit solutions to evaluate and compare supplier companies with each other, and has helped global companies manage and monitor performance in their supply network. WCA is a powerful tool for the evaluation, comparison and permanent improvement of all conditions in supplier companies´ workplaces in the context of workplace working conditions assessment, which is carried out extensively with social compliance expertise. In the WCA Program, audit processes are automatic and easy. It is a system supported by a web-based platform that increases efficiency for the partners in the supply chain of the companies.
