Without getting into too much detail, the report basically found little wrong and suggested minor adjustments to become a benchmark international company. He also reported no widespread or systematic abuse of employees, which directly conflicts with other reports. Obviously, there are many, many concerns in this situation that need to be addressed by the human resource department at Nike and at the factories. Only a few will be addressed here in this paper. The first and most obvious step to solving these problems is training.
Training needs to go on in several different areas.
The training that Nike offers the owners, managers, and supervisors of subcontracted facilities needs to be looked at. The regard for human dignity and Nike's Code of Conduct is not even noticeable. Even if the culture is different in the countries that Nike is doing business in, they still need to hammer home the importance of their beliefs to the people that they are doing business with. The training of Nike employees also needs to get better. With a Nike employee working at the Vietnam plant with a main purpose of making sure the Code of Conduct is enforced, it is amazing to see that these problems continue to exist.
