Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Given the global economy's dependence on female factory workers in developing nations, increasing numbers of organizations are realizing the value of improving the health of those workers with on‐site programs that address their unique needs. Since 2007, Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) has partnered with forward‐thinking organizations to overcome the challenges in providing such services and creating a work environment where women can flourish. In addition to describing innovative initiatives from Levi Strauss & Co., Timberland, and Hewlett‐Packard, this article details how other companies can replicate their successes along supply chains around the world. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
