National characteristics and cultures Sample Clauses

National characteristics and cultures. Example housing For companies in Asia – particularly in China – the roles of journeymen and migrant workers are of special significance and must be examined accord- ingly. Site inspections therefore also include the inspection of living quarters of the workers, who live in dormitories. The improvement of the living situa- tion, bed allocation, meals, trips home and family are all topics of great sig- nificance for these workers. Audits can be instrumental in the elimination of grievances and introduction of improvements. As fluctuation is particularly high in plants in China and loyalty to the company does not play a very ma- jor role, wages and salaries as well as living quarters have a considerable in- fluence on the workers. Although the audit process can reveal an absence of surveillance systems or structures of a legal state, it cannot counterbalance these factors. Example India National working cultures and the existence of caste mentalities prevent a better working environment and hinder social progress Example Poland Labour law in Poland enables employment of tempo- rary workers in rotating “chain” fixed-term contracts.
