<p><br /> Workers who normally spend their days assembling iPhones and other high-tech gadgets packed a stadium at their massive campus on Wednesday, waving pompoms and shouting slogans at a rally to raise morale following a string of suicides at the company's heavily regimented factories.<br /> </p><p><br /> The outreach to workers shows how the normally secretive Foxconn Technology Group has been shaken by the suicides and the bad press they have attracted.<br /> </p><p><br /> "For a long period of time I think we were kind of blinded by our success," said Louis Woo, special assistant to Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn's parent company.<br /> </p><p><br /> The company has already raised wages, hired counselors and installed safety nets on buildings to catch would-be jumpers.<br /> </p><p><br /> Other changes include job rotation so workers can try different tasks and grouping dorm assignments by home province so workers don't feel so isolated.<br /> </p><p><br /> However, Woo acknowledged there will be challenges in preventing such tragedies in a work force of 920,000 spread across 16 factories in China, all of which are to have morale boosting rallies.<br /> </p>
