Need help or ideas to design out two slides as my script and writing quite long to squeese into two slides. But can just point form in slides with correct title and a good script for me to present two slides in only 2.5 mins. Following is my draft, pls guide me step by step on powerpoint creation and good script to present findings. My draft: Slide 1: Foreign Labor Exploitation in Dyson's Supply Chain Introduction Dyson's former Malaysian supplier, ATA IMS Bhd, became embroiled in serious labor exploitation allegations in 2021. These concerns surfaced when whistleblowers exposed unethical labor practices affecting migrant workers, primarily from Nepal and Bangladesh. Key Forms of Exploitation Debt Bondage Due to Recruitment Fees Workers were forced to pay exorbitant recruitment fees before securing employment, often taking loans at high interest rates. This financial burden trapped them in debt bondage, leaving them with little choice but to accept exploitative working conditions. Passport Confiscation & Restricted Freedom Employers seized workers' passports, limiting their mobility and making it impossible to leave or switch jobs. This is a clear indicator of forced labor, as workers could not freely move or seek alternative employment. Excessive & Illegal Overtime Workers were pressured into extreme overtime to repay their debts, exceeding Malaysia's legal limit of 104 monthly overtime hours. Some worked up to 126 hours of overtime per month, exposing them to exhaustion and health risks. ATA's Heavy Reliance on Dyson (Power Imbalance) Dyson accounted for 80% of ATA's revenue, creating a one-sided dependency. ATA prioritized fulfilling Dyson's demands over worker welfare, fearing the loss of their biggest client. Corporate Responsibility Implications This case highlights the urgent need for stronger corporate accountability in global supply chains. Dyson's response to these revelations carries ethical, legal, and reputational consequences for both companies. Slide 2: Audit Failures & Recommendations for Ethical Supply Chains 1. Key Weaknesses in Dyson's Audit Process Despite conducting audits, Dyson failed to detect or prevent worker exploitation due to several critical flaws: a) Over-Reliance on Documentation Review Dyson's audits focused heavily on checking paper records, which suppliers could falsify. This ignored real-world working conditions and allowed ATA to hide illegal practices. b) Predictable & Scheduled Audits Inspections were pre-arranged, giving ATA time to temporarily clean up violations before auditors arrived. Without surprise inspections, auditors never witnessed actual workplace conditions. c) Ineffective Worker Interviews Workers feared retaliation and hesitated to speak truthfully, as interviews were often conducted in supervised settings. The lack of anonymous and safe feedback channels meant that serious labor abuses remained hidden. d) Narrow Audit Scope Focused on Legal Compliance Dyson's audits mainly checked legal technicalities but failed to assess broader ethical concerns, like worker treatment and recruitment practices. As a result, legal loopholes allowed systemic exploitation to continue. 2. Recommendations for a Stronger & Ethical Audit Process To prevent further exploitation, Dyson must adopt a more robust and ethical auditing approach: a) Implement Unannounced & Random Inspections Conducting surprise audits will reveal actual working conditions rather than prepared compliance facades. This deters suppliers from hiding violations and ensures continuous ethical practices. b) Establish Confidential Worker Reporting Channels Introduce secure whistleblower mechanisms where workers can report abuse anonymously without fear of retaliation. Ensure that third-party NGOs or independent human rights organizations manage these channels for impartial oversight. c) Expand Audit Criteria Beyond Legal Compliance Audits should assess ethical labor standards, including worker well-being, fair recruitment, and humane working hours. Collaborate with labor rights organizations to develop comprehensive, worker-centered audit guidelines. d) Provide Specialized Training for Auditors Auditors should receive intensive training on recognizing forced labor indicators, such as debt bondage, excessive overtime, and deceptive recruitment practices. They must also learn to create safe interview environments where workers can speak without fear. Conclusion The failure of Dyson's audits underscores the urgent need for a stronger, more ethical supply chain monitoring system. By adopting rigorous and ethical auditing practices, Dyson can lead the way in corporate responsibility and prevent labor exploitation in the future. This version maintains the depth of your original four slides but streamlines the content into two impactful slides while ensuring clarity, logical flow, and strong recommendations.
