Bay’s buildings may be getting greener. But, most important is the process – our approach to running an enterprise that is socially responsible. Human capital management is a core concern of our company.

At Bay, a sense of fairness and equality is the guiding principle. It is an undeniable fact that urban workers have been marginalized, and cannot break free of the cycle of poverty, even when the sector is thriving. As a group, unskilled and semi-skilled personnel are most affected by the ever-increasing cost of urban life.

Over the last decade, we have moved from “market wage” to “living wage” and are nearing “fair wages”. At lower levels, our personnel can expect to earn more than triple the market wages. Hopefully this will lead to a longer, more productive life.

Safety and security take on special meaning at Bay’s construction sites. Training is an integral part of our strictly enforced standard operating procedures (SOP). Health clinics, filtered water and hygienic living quarters for all construction workers are standard. Human development is emphasized at all levels.
