Agricola Belher has achieved a successful conclusion to the first module of the World Vision Mexico: Harvesting Labor Rights workshop. This collaborative effort involved training employees from all areas of the company, totaling 1021 participants. The workshop is structured into five modules, each comprising 15 sessions.

The initial module focused on raising awareness about workers’ labor rights and emphasizing their significance. Key topics covered included salary, social benefits, safe working conditions, and gender equality in the workplace.

Agricola Belher’s employees actively participated in the sessions, demonstrating a keen interest in learning about their rights and ensuring compliance within the company. Moving forward, Agricola Belher will continue its partnership with World Vision Mexico during subsequent workshop modules. These upcoming modules will address topics such as preventing workplace harassment, promoting gender equality, and safeguarding the rights of migrant workers, among others.

The Harvesting Labor Rights project, funded by ESDC’s Labour Program (Employment and Social Development Canada), aims to foster collaboration, partnerships, and alliances to address labor-related issues. It seeks to enhance the effective implementing capacity and enforcing local labor laws, improving practices, and eliminating unfair treatment.
