UdM Strengthens Workforce Stability: Over 24-Month Contracts Drive Job Security for Long-Serving Employees

In the academic year 2023–2024, Universidad de Manila (UdM) continues to demonstrate its
commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) – Decent Work and Economic
Growth, by prioritizing job security for employees who have served the institution for over 24
months. Employees who have reached this milestone are reassessed for contract renewal based
on their work performance, ensuring a fair and transparent process for long–term employment
stability.

This initiative highlights UdM’s dedication to fostering a secure and supportive work
environment. The high proportion of long–serving employees on contracts exceeding 24 months
reflects the university’s commitment to providing decent work conditions and retaining a skilled
and experienced workforce.

The renewal process, guided by a memorandum and performance reviews, underscores the
institution’s focus on both professional growth and job security, reinforcing UdM’s reputation as
an employer that values the contributions of its dedicated staff.

Key Highlights:
• A significant number of employees have been employed for over 24 months, showcasing
stability in the workforce.
• Contract renewals are contingent on thorough performance assessments, ensuring that
employees are recognized for their hard work and dedication.
• This practice aligns with SDG 8, promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable
economic growth through secure employment opportunities.

By prioritizing contract renewals for long–serving employees, UdM is setting an example in the
educational sector, proving that economic growth is driven by investing in human capital and
ensuring decent working conditions.
