Home & Away Programme
To Bridge Supply Chains and Worker Families through A Better Communication
It is all too easy to overlook family communication in a workplace especially in a labour-intensive industry which of a majority of migration families. Moreover, 97% of female workers were forced to leave the workplace for family issues caused by miscommunication, even though their salary and potential in career development were higher than their husbands. To go home or not to go home, is always a harsh question that migrant female workers have to choose. And Only the former will be allowed. 30% of them were skilled workers who have been in the garment sector for over 7 years, 12% of them were policymakers in the factories. Such a situation also happens in other different sectors. This is a common nightmare to the labour-intensive factories that are shortage of skilled labour. A decade ago, those who were left-behind or migrant children are a parent now. What's change? We have seen more and more case of family counselling from different workplaces. Since 2012, Home&Away is committed to improving family communication for a sustainable workplace by 5 useful toolkits. And it has 30 combination modes to respond to multiple enterprises needs on family-friendly and corporate volunteering issues.

Calls from Migrant Worker famalies
Story 1
Via the Left-Behind Children Hotline and school carnivals, we lend a sympathetic ear to them, we talk with them, we feel them. After the school carnival, for the very first time, Ming raised his hand during the English class. Classes over, he rushed back home, picked the phone up and called his parents. “Mom and dad, I miss you both.”
-- Ming, a 10-year-old boy
Story 2
“After the workshop, I know my baby girl better. Why have we chatted like strangers before? Maybe we get used to sticking bad communication habits. Maybe we put too much pressure on her. But things are different now.
All of us are trying to communicate in the same plane for mutual understanding, surprisingly, we talk more.”
--A father said
Story 3
“So many hands there, she recognized and held my hand immediately.”
“I am sure this is my mom's hand!” She shouted out.
“Tears can’t help falling down, no one knows how grateful I am at that time.”
