Human Resources
These are marketing and Sales projects to support their operation either in areas where SMC have a stronghold or in areas where they want to establish their position.
SMC’s strong social responsibility commitment contributes to better employee retention, resulting in a considerable reduction in turnover and training costs. Employees normally remain working with the Corporation because of their feeling that SMC cares. Employee programs that help reduce absenteeism actually save the Corporation money as they encourage increased productivity. On the home front, programs that address employee welfare instill a sense of pride in the people for being part of the San Miguel Group.
