In 2013, Brandili was one of the pioneering companies in the region to hire Haitian immigrants. In the beginning, before learning the local language, the institutional materials were translated into French to facilitate communication and the inclusion of these immigrants. Many of them have created bonds with the community and the company, completing 6 years of work, and are highlighted in the programs Valeu.

Currently, the number of immigrants is smaller, as they move around according to job offers, but there are still Haitian families working at Brandili. The company has also hired Venezuelans, Paraguayans and Cubans. 

Brandili is a benchmark in the area of inclusion and diversity: 29 people with disabilities have been hired with adapted jobs and their needs respected. In addition, the company also receives people who have been rehabilitated by the INSS for training.

To provide support in significant situations, Brandili has an area of Internal Social Responsibility. This area provides referrals for treatment, guidance and resources for psychiatric consultations, food baskets, support for the purchase of medication, etc.

O Mother Love Programme is geared towards employees who are pregnant, who receive a course for pregnant women, a booklet, a kit with baby clothes and hygiene products, and compete in a raffle for gifts. Brandili also grants a maternity leave of 180 days, during which the mother stays with the baby for an extra two months.

In partnership with the municipality's day care centre, the company offers day care assistance (or nanny) until the child is 36 months old. When returning from maternity leave, the employee can adapt, leaving the child for shorter periods and closely monitoring the care and feeding of the crèche professionals.

In the case of the need for payroll loans, Brandili has an agreement with a banking institution, as well as a pharmacy and supermarket agreement for purchases with payroll deductions. When buying children's products/clothing at the factory shop, employees have special discounts with installments and payroll deductions (Advantages for You Program). 

The company has adopted the Hours' Compensation Programmein which the employee can be absent from the company in case of need and, afterwards, replace these hours. This way, there is no financial loss, loss of holidays and/or paid rest days.

At the Blumenau Administrative Centre (CAB), working hours are flexible, starting at 7am to 8.30am and leaving at 5pm to 6.30pm. The Managers (directors, managers, coordinators and supervisors) have a flexible schedule and the possibility of working in home office.

Company time: Every month, Brandili offers its thanks and celebration to employees who complete 1, 5, 10, 15 and other years in the company (multiples of 5). They receive a thank you card signed by their colleagues, a pin (botton) of the respective commemoration year to pin on their badge and the publication of their name on the company's internal notice boards and in the exclusive group for employees on Facebook, the Nossa Gente Brandili group.

Managers receive a script with guidelines and tips on how to give thanks and the celebration should be held in the area. Managers and co-workers register the delivery of the card and tribute with photos in the Facebook group and colleagues from other areas take the opportunity to also pay their tribute.

Employees who complete 10, 15, 20 years or more still receive a special thank you. Before the pandemic, this acknowledgement took place in the format of a biannual face-to-face event that brought together honoured employees, managers and directors. 

In 2020, the event became a monthly action that unites employees and their families, where they can celebrate together. The company delivers, directly to the employee's home, kits that vary according to the length of service. A letter of thanks is also sent, signed by the Managing Director of the company, and is posted in the group Our People Brandili
