Human resource planning training was provided to factories in Vietnam and China to strengthen HR systems and support lean manufacturing. Factories developed action plans to address areas like supervision, incentives, and employee satisfaction. Factories are implementing plans with goals to reduce employee dissatisfaction and increase skills. Initial reports show factories finding the training helpful for setting goals and sharing best practices to realize improvements. The training aims to drive lasting gains in working conditions through continued support.

29.  Since Nike developed Human Resources Management (HRM) training to strengthen
contract manufacturers' HRM systems and support lean manufacturing implementation,
two waves of factories have taken part: eight factories in Vietnam in November 2008 and
eight factories in Southern China in March 2009.
 Prior to participating in the workshop, each factory completed an employee satisfaction
survey to better understand the top issues facing workers and to measure mutual trust
and respect in the factory.
 Factories brought survey results along to the two-week training so they could apply their
workers' insights to creation of action plans and HRM best practices. Each factory
developed action plans to address core HRM areas, including supervisory skills, incentive
structures, employee turnover and employee satisfaction.
 Following the training, factories have begun implementing their specific action plans with
six-month deliverables.
 One factory set specific goals for reducing the number of workers reporting
dissatisfaction with the behavior and attitude of their direct supervisor from 15 percent
to 5 percent. The factory identified targeted training for supervisors including
management, trust and respect, leadership, company policies and grievance systems,
tying training completion directly to key performance indicators tracked within the
factory.
 Another has set plans to increase the technical skill level among workers on the shop
floor. Rather than focus only on building workers' technical skills, the plan requires
supervisors to understand the importance of these skills among workers, which often
had been overlooked. Plans also include reassessing skill levels, sharing with leadership
and using findings to increase and improve training.
 For both factories - and all those participating in the training - each step in the process
had clear goals, responsibilities, timelines and methods for tracking progress.

30.  Factories reported positive results. Statements from factories
participating in the training include:
 "The HRM workshop was able to highlight the importance of having a
strong HR system."
 "Human resources is one of the most important assets of the
company as a foundation of lean."
 "We now share best practice at our weekly meetings and include CR
and HR."
 "I am confident that our goals will be achieved within the year."
 "HRM has helped us to have a better understanding of how strong
HR supports lean. If HR is strong, we'll use effective processes to
recruit the right people and develop them with a foreseeable career
path. Skilled employees will stay with us longer. This means our
turnover rate will be reduced and our recruiting efforts and training
investment are not wasted."
 "The HRM tools we received are helping us follow our projects
closely, followed up by responsible persons within specified
timelines, giving a greater chance to realize measurable
improvements."
 "HRM created a community where each factory set off the boundary
of its own experience and knowledge. In return, each factory
received many good practices - a great return on investment."

31.  Factories are not alone in this process.
Factories are supported by the HRM Learning
Community established in the training. The
Learning Community brings together
factories that shared the training and
continue to share lessons learned and best
practices meeting bimonthly.
 The real measure of success will be the HRM
training's ability to drive systemic and lasting
improvement in working conditions. Nike is
working closely with contract factories in
their implementation of action plans and
ongoing efforts to monitor workers'
experience.
