The implications that the increase in tax contributions may have on the salaries of Angolan employees are, in any case, a cause for concern. Companies and their human capital study dynamics that aim, above all, to mitigate this impact by ensuring that the quality of life and its contribution to productivity is not negative.
Bonws Seguros, concerned about the health of the company and its employees, understands that a reduction in wages would cause embarrassment and inconvenience to workers, as well as significantly affect their financial situation.
The decision to assume a proportional salary increase in order to compensate for the reduction in salaries that workers would suffer resulting from the responsibility to pay fees related to the legislative change to the new general INSS regime, was considered, as it is an element that contributes to improve the working environment and good conditions for employees.
“Bonws’ vision regarding tax measures is that legislation is being created that meets the country’s social reality. However, these changes are happening at a time when the country’s economic situation is not in a position to follow such changes 100%, which is why it is necessary to create conditions so that salaries cover the basic needs of human capital. In other words, if on the one hand there are tax fees to be paid, which already reduces revenue for other expenses such as food and education, on the other hand, the quality of life of human capital must be protected”, said Luís Vera Pedro, CEO of Bonws.
For the insurance company Bonws, human capital is a very important asset, they also contribute to keeping the company competitive and obtaining measurable results with quality and differentiation. It currently employs 46 people, the majority of whom are nationals, more than 95%, with an average age of around 26 years old.
