I need ideas on how to make my current 4 slides into 2 slides, as requirement only allow 2 slides for each question: Slide 1: Foreign Labour Exploitation and Debt Bondage in Dyson's Supply Chain Your current script is good but could be more concise and impactful. Here's a revised version: "Good evening, everyone. Today I'll examine how Dyson's former Malaysian supplier, ATA IMS Bhd, became entangled in serious labor exploitation allegations. The case emerged in 2021 when whistleblowers revealed concerning practices affecting migrant workers primarily from Nepal and Bangladesh. These workers faced exorbitant recruitment fees leading to debt bondage, passport confiscation, and forced excessive overtime. ATA's extreme dependence on Dyson—which represented 80% of their sales—created a problematic power dynamic. Dyson's response to these revelations has significant implications not only for both companies' stakeholders but also for the broader conversation about corporate responsibility toward migrant workers in global supply chains." Slide 2: Challenges Faced by Workers at ATA IMS Bhd Your current script could benefit from stronger connections between points. Here's an improved version: "ATA's workforce consisted of approximately 50% migrant workers, predominantly from Nepal and Bangladesh. These workers faced a systematic cycle of exploitation beginning with crippling recruitment fees that immediately trapped them in debt bondage. To repay these debts, workers were compelled to accept excessive overtime—often reaching 126 hours monthly, far beyond Malaysia's legal limits. The situation was exacerbated by the common practice of passport confiscation, a clear indicator of forced labor that severely restricted workers' freedom. These abuses persisted partly due to Malaysia's weak labor law enforcement, creating an environment where exploitation could flourish with minimal oversight or consequences." Slide 3: Weaknesses in Dyson's Audit Process Your script covers the key points but could be more cohesive. Here's a revision: "Dyson's audit process contained fundamental flaws that allowed labor abuses to continue undetected. First, their heavy reliance on documentation review created vulnerabilities, as suppliers like ATA could easily falsify records. The predictability of scheduled audits gave ATA ample time to temporarily mask non-compliance issues. Without surprise inspections, auditors never witnessed actual working conditions. Additionally, worker interviews were insufficient and often conducted in environments where employees feared retaliation for speaking truthfully. Perhaps most critically, Dyson's audits focused narrowly on legal compliance rather than identifying broader ethical concerns, creating blind spots where technical compliance could mask severe exploitation." Slide 4: Audit Failures and Recommendations Your current script is a bit brief for this important concluding slide. Here's an expanded version: "Dyson's audits failed primarily because they were easily circumvented. ATA consistently demonstrated surface-level compliance during scheduled evaluations—what industry experts call 'window dressing.' Meanwhile, workers remained silent during interviews, fearing job loss or other repercussions if they revealed the truth about their conditions. To address these systemic failures, Dyson must implement several critical changes: First, conduct genuinely unexpected inspections that capture authentic workplace conditions. Second, establish truly confidential worker feedback channels that protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Third, expand audit criteria beyond minimal legal compliance to include meaningful ethical standards. Fourth, provide specialized training to auditors on recognizing subtle indicators of labor exploitation. These improvements would allow Dyson to identify and prevent labor abuses throughout their supply chain, demonstrating that corporate responsibility and human rights aren't merely compliance exercises but essential elements of sustainable business practice."
