We Raise Awareness about Human Trafficking
BEST raises awareness about the impact of human trafficking on victims and employers. BEST provides online and in-person training to help employees recognize human trafficking and proactively prevent exploitation. Our online suite of training courses includes training for business leaders and general staff; training for managers and staff of hotels; and, in the next month, we will be releasing an online version of our Continuing Legal Education (CLE) course.
We Provide Professional Consulting for Washington's Business Leaders
BEST empowers employers to help victims and prevent exploitation through their day-to-day business operations. BEST provides free resources, including; best practices to prevent sex trafficking, an online self-assessment, and strategic advice. BEST also supports employers to develop anti-trafficking strategies, as well as how to implement workplace policies and provide internal communications. Finally, employers who wish to publicize their leadership can join the BEST Employers Alliance.
We are Creating a Pipeline to Employment in King County
A lack of alternative employment opportunities is one of the most serious barriers for people seeking freedom from a trafficker. To address this problem, BEST’s Safe Jobs project connects people who have been trafficked with safe, stable employment. BEST provides Safe Jobs employers with training and support, while working with local service agencies to connect survivors who are seeking work with Safe Jobs employment opportunities.
