Anti-Human Trafficking Policy & Resources

Our Commitment

At ShineWorksEvents, we are committed to preventing human trafficking and protecting the rights and dignity of all individuals we employ and serve. We take active steps to identify, prevent, and report any form of forced labor, exploitation, or abuse. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward human trafficking and are dedicated to ensuring safe, legal, and ethical working conditions for every temporary employee.

What Is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit individuals through labor or sex. In the staffing industry, this can happen through:

  • Deceptive job offers

  • Retention of identity documents

  • Threats or intimidation

  • Withholding wages or freedom of movement

How We Help Protect Our Employees

We take the following actions to prevent human trafficking:

  • Thorough vetting of clients and job sites
    We only place employees with reputable, legally compliant companies.

  • Education & training for staff and workers
    All personnel receive training to recognize and report suspicious activity.

  • Anonymous reporting mechanisms
    Employees can report concerns without fear of retaliation.

  • Clear employment terms
    All contracts and job descriptions are transparent and easy to understand.

  • No fees charged to employees
    Workers are never required to pay for placements, transportation, or recruitment.

Know the Warning Signs

Here are some red flags that may indicate trafficking or exploitation:

  • You’re not allowed to keep your own ID or passport

  • You’re being forced to work to repay a debt

  • You were misled about the nature of the job

  • You’re being threatened if you leave or complain

  • Your movements or communications are restricted

  • You're living in poor conditions controlled by the employer

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these signs, please seek help immediately.

How to Report Human Trafficking

We encourage any employee who witnesses or experiences suspicious behavior to report it confidentially.
