Modern slavery is a term used to describe situations of serious exploitation where coercion, threat or deception are used to exploit victims and undermine or deprive them of their freedom. Modern slavery continues to exist in present day society, driven by exploiters who seek to generate personal and financial gain.
Modern slavery may impact or involve your organisation, your suppliers, the suppliers of your suppliers, all the way through your supply chain. However, exploitation and coercion are not only limited to jobs in labour markets or where there is minimal legal protection. This blog post describes deceptive recruitment and how to overcome it with modern slavery training.
Deceptive recruitment, as the name suggests, is recruiting someone for labour or service on a false pretence. Once employed, the actual job scenario turns out to be different from what was promised. People might also be recruited for a higher salary but paid quite less.
This practice is a form of modern slavery and also includes force, threats, or coercion. When the victim realises that the claims made during recruitment are false and they challenge it they can also suffer from further threats or coercion. Some victims also stay in the arrangement due to financial or visa concerns.
Many people are unaware of the exploitation that some of their colleagues or subordinates are subjected to. Modern slavery awareness training can help define the behaviours and practices that can be identified as deceptive recruitment. It also describes how to report such incidents. The higher the awareness, the better the resolution and prevention of deceptive recruitment.
Deceptive recruitment for labour or services is a rising concern in the global economy. If not stopped, it can continue to exploit the talent pool which may eventually lead to poor productivity. Organisations that are committed to growth along with human values must invest in providing equal employment opportunities for all and modern slavery awareness training to all of their employees.

A Sunday Times UK investigation found that Boohoo was selling clothes made in a Leicester factory who were reportedly paying garment workers as little as £3.50 an hour (the minimum wage is £8.50) and failing to protect workers against Covid-19.
In response, the company, which has said it takes a “zero-tolerance” approach to malpractice, terminated contracts with one supplier and one subcontractor and launched an independent review into its supply chain.
Then just a few days ago, The Guardian UK exclusively reported that at least 18 other factories where Boohoo made clothing in Leicester had failed to prove they pay the minimum wage to workers in audits as recent as a few weeks ago and dating back 4 years, leading to Boohoo suspending orders at a number of factories.Continue reading...
