Human resources are our biggest capital. SMM Textile fulfills its objectives thanks to the strength arising from its human resources. It proceeds with the understanding that mutual trust and respect prevail and that participation, diversity, and multilateralism are encouraged. One of our fundamental goals is to recruit qualified human resources prone to our corporate culture and to ensure the continuous personal development and motivation of the employees.

Our Group, which consists of companies from various sectors and disciplines, has a flexible structure with human resources policies suitable for the unique conditions and requirements of the companies. SMM Tekstil believes that novel and creative opportunities can be taken if it blends different perspectives and know-how.

Our Human Resources Policy covers the following:

• The policy aims to employ the right people for the right job.

• To ensure that all tasks in the organization are duly performed, the policy supposes that each task is defined precisely and clearly. The competencies and qualifications required by employees who will perform these tasks are specified.
• The power of the authority and responsibilities that employees at all levels should have while performing their duties are clearly determined.
• Managers are required to create a working environment based on affection, respect, and trust for their staff.
• The vacant positions are primarily filled with staff/employees qualified within the Group.
• Employees take advantage of the Group’s opportunities and benefits in a fair and objective way and in proportion to their knowledge, experience, and capabilities.
• All employes in the Group are responsible for completing their duties during working hours, and it is our Group policy to allow overtime working only temporarily and in mandatory situations.
• Ensuring internal communication is fundamental as a function that promotes operation speed and efficiency.
• Believing that novel ideas and opportunities can be created by blending diverse perspectives and knowledge, we carefully review and evaluate suggestions, opinions, and ideas from all employees.
• Nepotism is not allowed.
