A big role that this

A big role that this company is playing in this country is that of a massive school. This company teaches people about punctuality, about following procedures, about teamwork. That's the way I see it. Remember, this country comes from an agricultural base. If it's raining, nobody works. If it's windy, nobody works. If it's a cloudy or a dark day, that's the day you have to put the seed in the ground -- that's the day when people work. The other days, work is over by 10 AM, because the sun is too hot. We're going through a big change of that mentality, and that's what I consider this company -- a big school.
Grupo M manufactures clothes for Abercrombie 'n' Fitch, Hugo Boss, and Tommy Hilfiger, and is the largest private employer in the Dominican Republic. A Fast Company article suggests that rather than a sweatshop it's a model of social responsibility, worker empowerment, and indusry reform.
