LabourNet

LabourNet aims to improve livelihoods of the working poor by addressing issues of job market security, exploitation, lack of training, lack of benefits, and unsafe working conditions. LN provides a platform for workers and clients to find and interact with each other in a transparent and professional manner. LN ensures that workers are able to find stable, socially-protected employment, and improve their skill levels--thereby improving their employability--while providing the workers with services such as financial inclusion, insurance, and identity cards to incentivize them to stay within the network.

While LN currently uses low-cost marketing such as auto-rickshaws adorned with LN advertisements, GBF will also help LN develop and implement new marketing strategies. GBF's assistance will enable LabourNet to broadly reach out to offices and their employees through a direct sales force, and use its Web site to reach out to individual households. GBF will also assist the organization in improving its operations and measuring its social impact, and economic returns.
