Swift
believes
strongly in implementing an encompassing, beneficial policy
whereby all parties - growers, employees, the company itself
and ultimately, the consumers - can reap rewards.
This concept is what we term a “Win-Win” policy, such
that all the above parties stand to gain from the growth of
the business. In Swift, there are no rigid
classifications that divide “bosses” and “subordinates”; instead,
we encourage employees to look to us as team leaders working
cooperatively and collaboratively with them at each step and
every level.

We
provide fringe benefits which are above and beyond that required
by law. These include free health care and social security,
free vacation days, transportation to and from work, interest-free
loans to those in need and extended maternity leave. |
|
|
We
adhere to standard, first-world employment practices such as
payment of one and a half times the normal wage during overtime
and twice the normal wage on holidays. Our company engages contracted
growers who get a guaranteed price for their produce on long
term contracts. These contracted growers are also provided with
a greater incentive to produce and adhere to the strict guidelines
we set for them on the maintenance of quality and standards. |
|
| |
We
also offer assistance to our growers in converting from traditional
farming practices to GAP and organic farming practices, by
providing interest free financial assistance.
All
contracted growers, and workers, growers and suppliers are
paid in full and on time regardless of the market situation
facing the company.
We
do not use child labour on our farms and factories. |
