Our Policies

NHUMAN references Fair Working Models as its working model. Fair Work is a system that covers workplace regulations such as wages, working conditions and representation of employees. Within the scope of these systems, employees earn at least enough to provide humane living standards and work with payment standards suitable for the work-wage balance.

 

Our Policies

Platform work provides basic income and opportunities to many. However, many platform workers who are not protected from labor law or collective organizations face unfair and dangerous working conditions.

 

That's why NHUMAN has decided to become a Fairwork supporter to help transform the GIG economy. Fairwork projects highlight best and worst practices in the platform economy.

 

We hope to encourage other organizations to help make the gig economy a fairer and safer place to work.
