Strengthening Worker Voice Through Effective Grievance Mechanisms
A collaborative initiative of CARE Bangladesh, Gymshark and New Asia Group, the project aims to strengthen transparent, rights-based grievance mechanisms across participating Gymshark supplier factories and build capacity on workers’ rights, gender-responsive practices, workplace misconduct prevention and effective grievance handling.
The kick-off brought together senior leadership, CARE Bangladesh, factory representatives and project stakeholders for discussions on the project context, factory perspectives and the way forward.
The event reinforced a shared commitment to creating safer, more inclusive, respectful and resilient workplaces where workers can raise concerns and access fair and effective remediation.
Together, we can strengthen worker voice, build trust and turn grievances into opportunities for positive workplace improvement.
The Strengthening Complaint Remediation and Grievance Mechanism System (CRGMS) Project was officially launched on 23 July 2026 at New Asia Group’s Corporate Office in Dhaka.
