| dc.description.abstract | SIM Group is an umbrella enterprise having several textile-oriented companies under a
single ownership. This report illustrates current condition and problems concerning safety
and security of its workers. The objective of this report is to access the employee safety
and security issues from a perspective of human resources management, and provide
some recommendations based on the accessed findings.
To fulfill this objective, a survey using 13 semi-structured questionnaire is conducted
where quota sampling method is utilized having a sample size of 30 from all three major
sections of the company. In addition, direct observation of the intern is also used to access
further facts that are not captured by survey. Findings from both sources are compiled to
provide the recommendations.
The findings reveal that, although SIM Group does have several nice features regarding
employee safety and security, it is not free from serious drawbacks. Among them, the
most severe ones are that most of the personal protective equipments are not replaced
regularly; some of those, such as mask, are uncomfortable; a big portion of the workers
do not wear these protective equipments; and the ribbon band of ID card and unsmooth
dyeing floor may cause accident. In addition, no proper footwear is given to the workers
and first aid box is also limited. Moreover, among others problems, there are severe
problems in female dormitory that are need to be fixed.
To fix these issues, eleven recommendations are provided, which may improve the
overall condition of safety and security from a perspective of human resources
management. | en_US |
