At HATC (K-Timber), we feel that our people are the most valuable asset to our success in the Angolan timber business. We’re committed to fostering a work environment that not only attracts top talent but also ensures their well-being and professional growth. Our comprehensive employee welfare policies reflect this commitment. Here are the 6Ps of employee welfare policies that set us apart:

Pathway to Promotion

At HATC (K-Timber), we prioritize the career growth and development of our employees. We have established a clear promotion pathway that outlines the steps required for career advancement. We also offer skills development programs with tailored training sessions to enhance job-specific skills and leadership capabilities. Our mentorship opportunities pair junior staff with experienced professionals for guidance and support. 

We prioritize internal candidates for new positions and promotions through internal job postings. This clear pathway ensures that every employee understands the steps needed to advance their career within our Angolan operations, fostering loyalty and long-term commitment.

Provided Accommodation

Since most K-Timber employees have to work far from home due to the nature of work. HATC (K-Timber) offers comfortable temporary accommodation to our employees. We provide safe and secure housing complexes near work sites, with fully furnished apartments or houses. 

We also cover utilities, including electricity, water, and internet connectivity. This policy not only ensures our employees have a comfortable living situation but also significantly reduces their cost of living, making working with HATC (K-Timber) in Angola even more attractive. 

Provisions for Daily Meals

We understand that good nutrition is essential for maintaining energy and productivity. At HATC (K-Timber), employees receive three nutritious meals a day, carefully prepared to promote health and well-being. 

This policy ensures that our employees can focus on their work without worrying about meal preparation, while also promoting a sense of community as teams dine together.

Premium Health Insurance

Employee health is a top priority at HATC (K-Timber). We offer comprehensive health insurance that covers a wide range of medical services, including routine check-ups, emergency care, and specialized treatments.

This extensive coverage ensures that our employees can access quality healthcare without financial stress, contributing to a healthier, more productive workforce.

Personal Equipment Allowance

To support our employees in their daily tasks and personal lives, HATC (K-Timber) provides an allowance for personal equipment.  This includes essentials such as mobile phones, hard hats and protective eyewear. We also provide a work-appropriate clothing allowance and personal tools required for specific jobs. 

This approach demonstrates our commitment to workplace safety and empowers our employees to take ownership of their equipment.

Paid Leave Benefits

We value work-life balance and understand the importance of rest and personal time. Our paid leave policy is generous and comprehensive. We offer 20 days of annual leave per year, increasing with tenure. Employees are entitled to 10 days of sick leave annually, with the option for extended leave for serious illnesses. Our maternity and paternity leave policies align with Angolan labor laws, with additional company benefits. 

At HATC (K-Timber), we’re proud of the comprehensive welfare policies we offer our employees in Angola. These six key policies demonstrate our commitment to our team’s well-being and professional growth. We believe that by taking care of our employees, we’re not just building a stronger workforce, but also contributing to the development of Angola’s timber industry and local communities.
