JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Afriansyah Noor said that every investment must have a real impact on the creation of quality jobs.
"Every new investment has a strategic meaning for the government in an effort to expand employment opportunities. Our focus is to ensure that business growth is in line with the availability of quality jobs for the Indonesian people," said the Minister of Manpower, quoting Antara.
He gave an example of the new production facility of PT Givaudan Indonesia in Cikarang, West Java, which is one of the government's monitoring points regarding the utilization of investment for expanding employment opportunities.
In the initial phase of this expansion (the Kartini Project), the company recorded the absorption of 60 new employees. In the next phase, this new production facility is targeted to absorb approximately 400 employees.
"We, the government, emphasize that this commitment to absorb labor continues to be measured in the next investment stages," he said.
In addition to absorbing workers, the government also reminded PT Givaudan Indonesia to continue to fulfill operational obligations in accordance with labor standards.
This includes the implementation of a fair remuneration system, guaranteeing normative rights, and strengthening bipartite communication with trade unions (SPKEP SPSI PT Givaudan Indonesia) to maintain harmonious industrial relations.
"The government continues to encourage every business entity, including PT Givaudan Indonesia, to prioritize the principle that investment success must provide broad benefits, especially for the welfare of workers and surrounding communities," said Deputy Minister of Human Resources and Social Security Afriansyah.
