Social Accountability Consultant Course
Course Description
SAI sees investment in responsible and skilled social accountability consulting as a critical component of advancing human rights in workplaces globally. Consultants often help companies navigate and apply social standards and requirements, but skilled professionals in the field can help companies go beyond auditing to embed changes in daily operations by:
- securing leadership buy-in and ownership of labor improvements,
- fostering worker engagement and participation,
- and guiding companies to internalize these and other positive changes in their organizational culture.
SAI’s Social Accountability Consultant Course will equip consultants with additional knowledge and skills to look beyond compliance in their work to apply a comprehensive management systems and capacity building approach that integrates worker voice.
This course is a requirement to achieve Registered Consultant status in the Social Accountability Consultant Registry.
