Need help with my presentation slides script writing as each can only present for 2.5 mins, can help me check whether my script can be improved to match my contents on every slide? Slide 1 content: Foreign Labour Exploitation and Debt Bondage in Dyson's Supply Chain ATA IMS Bhd: Dyson's ex-supplier in Malaysia Labour issues came to light in 2021 My script for this slide: Good evening, everyone. The case of Dyson and its ex-Malaysian manufacturing partner ATA IMS Bhd can now be analyzed based on the largest issue surrounding global manufacturing that includes foreign labor exploitation and debt bondage for the first half of question two. ATAs dependency on Dysons business is extremely high as the British electronic company accounted for 80% of sales of the Malaysian producer. There were very serious concerns about labour activities that came to light in 2021 that affected operations. A whistle blower suggested that there were management policies in place that were injurious to primary workers from Nepal and Bangladesh. The recruitment charges were so high that along with the financial coercion came Passport confiscation with the excessive overtime hours. The way Dyson is dealing with these newly brought forward issues will set on motion new borders to be crossed for the stakeholders of both companies and the migrant workers. Slide 2 content: Challenges Faced by Workers at ATA IMS Bhd 50% Migrant Workforce: Workers face mistreatment and high recruitment costs. Debt Bondage: Recruitment fees trap workers in debt. Excessive Overtime: Beyond legal limits. Weak Labour Law Enforcement: Malaysia’s lax enforcement exposes workers to risks My script: About 50% of ATA personnel were migrant workers who mostly came from Nepal and Bangladesh. The workforce members encountered severe difficulties in their lives. The workers paid substantial recruitment fees to their employers but found themselves indebted before beginning their employment period. Many employees worked beyond the overtime restrictions set by Malaysia to the point of reaching 126 hours per month. Forced labor suspicions should arise from reports about confiscated passports. Slide 3 content: Weaknesses in Dyson’s Audit Process Over-reliance on Documentation: Easy for suppliers to falsify records. Scheduled Audits: Allow suppliers time to hide non-compliance. Lack of Surprise Inspections: Misses actual working conditions. Insufficient Worker Interviews: Workers fear retaliation. Focus on Legal Compliance: Overlooks ethical issues. My script: The audit process at Dyson included major structural deficiencies. Their auditing method primarily depended on documents that could be readily modified. ATA gained enough notice from scheduled audits to perform temporary cover-ups of their issues. Routine inspections did not happen spontaneously to observe actual workplace situations. The company performed insufficient interviews that were confidential with its workers. These deficiencies allowed workers to present false information which concealed their actual conditions from the auditors. Slide 4 content: Audit Failures and Recommendations Audit Failures: Suppliers engaging in "window dressing" Worker fear of retaliation Recommendations: Implement surprise inspections Conduct confidential worker interviews Prioritise ethical practices beyond legal compliance My script: The reason to why the audit failed was because ATA succeeds in showing positive progress during all scheduled audits, but staff maintain silence during inspections out of fear of the consequences. Dyson should address these issues by conducting unannounced audits and hosting anonymous worker interviews and by making ethical standards exceed basic legal requirements. To prevent labor exploitation effectively auditors must receive better training that enables them to identify such indicators. The improved audit processes enable Dyson to identify and prevent labor problems throughout their supply chain. Organizations must prioritize both corporate responsibility and human life improvement to deliver positive outcomes for real people.

Slide 1 content: Foreign Labour Exploitation and Debt Bondage in Dyson's Supply Chain
- ATA IMS Bhd: Dyson's ex-supplier in Malaysia
- Labour issues came to light in 2021
My script for this slide:
Good evening, everyone. The case of Dyson and its ex-Malaysian manufacturing partner ATA IMS Bhd can now be analyzed based on the largest issue surrounding global manufacturing that includes foreign labor exploitation and debt bondage for the first half of question two. ATAs dependency on Dysons business is extremely high as the British electronic company accounted for 80% of sales of the Malaysian producer. There were very serious concerns about labour activities that came to light in 2021 that affected operations.

Slide 2 content: Challenges Faced by Workers at ATA IMS Bhd
- 50% Migrant Workforce: Workers face mistreatment and high recruitment costs.
- Debt Bondage: Recruitment fees trap workers in debt.
- Excessive Overtime: Beyond legal limits.
- Weak Labour Law Enforcement: Malaysia’s lax enforcement exposes workers to risks
My script:
About 50% of ATA personnel were migrant workers who mostly came from Nepal and Bangladesh. The workforce members encountered severe difficulties in their lives. The workers paid substantial recruitment fees to their employers but found themselves indebted before beginning their employment period. Many employees worked beyond the overtime restrictions set by Malaysia to the point of reaching 126 hours per month. Forced labor suspicions should arise from reports about confiscated passports.

- Scheduled Audits: Allow suppliers time to hide non-compliance.
- Lack of Surprise Inspections: Misses actual working conditions.
- Insufficient Worker Interviews: Workers fear retaliation.
- Focus on Legal Compliance: Overlooks ethical issues.
My script:
The audit process at Dyson included major structural deficiencies. Their auditing method primarily depended on documents that could be readily modified. ATA gained enough notice from scheduled audits to perform temporary cover-ups of their issues. Routine inspections did not happen spontaneously to observe actual workplace situations. The company performed insufficient interviews that were confidential with its workers.

Slide 4 content: Audit Failures and Recommendations
Audit Failures:
- Suppliers engaging in "window dressing"
- Worker fear of retaliation
Recommendations:
- Implement surprise inspections
- Conduct confidential worker interviews
- Prioritise ethical practices beyond legal compliance
My script:
The reason to why the audit failed was because ATA succeeds in showing positive progress during all scheduled audits, but staff maintain silence during inspections out of fear of the consequences.
Dyson should address these issues by conducting unannounced audits and hosting anonymous worker interviews and by making ethical standards exceed basic legal requirements. To prevent labor exploitation effectively auditors must receive better training that enables them to identify such indicators. The improved audit processes enable Dyson to identify and prevent labor problems throughout their supply chain.
