The Board of Directors of Mackenzie Presbyterian Institute (IPM) approved in June 2018 the tenth edition of its Strategic Planning, which covers the period 2019-2028.
The bases were built over 18 months, with the participation of the entire management of the Institute, University, Colleges and Schools, and the Board of Directors itself. As a result, important improvements were registered, which aim to adequately support and guide the growth and expansion of the Institution.
Mackenzie organizational structuring project begun in 2016 and has advanced with the purpose of mapping and adapting the functional organization chart of the Institution as well as the duties and requirements of all positions. While the organizational atmosphere, evaluated in the year, indicated a 77% approval rate.
Investment of R$1.857 million in programs aimed at improving the workforce, which benefited 11,013 participants and resulted in an average of 6.05 hours per year. In addition, during the year several actions were carried out aiming at the health and well-being of employees.
With a focus on social responsibility and philanthropy, and to provide quality of life for its employees, Mackenzie maintains the following set of benefits: education financial aid, day care allowance and agreement, private pension, medical and dental care, food basket and food stamp, life insurance, pharmacy agreement, meal voucher and meal card, payroll deductible loan.
As a non-profit and charitable association, operating with social responsibility is inherent in Mackenzie, whose very roots evoke innovation in education with principles of diversity and inclusion. These bases are solidified in the philanthropic nature of the Institution and are translated, in part, in the granting of scholarships and consequent offer of opportunities to those who could not, by their own conditions, enjoy the benefits of study at Mackenzie. They are also manifested through socio-environmental projects whose purpose is to benefit communities that are related to the Institution.
Mackenzie develops socio-educational projects in two modalities:
Own projects appropriated for philanthropic governmental incentives, according to current legislation, in which the amounts are destined to assistance and support actions to scholarship students.
Projects not eligible for tax incentives are maintained by the Institution because they meet its statutory and Confessional purposes. They are carried out with own resources and in partnership.
The investment in socio-educational projects benefited 148.5 thousand direct beneficiaries, with approximately R$1.89 million invested, of which R$453 thousand are contemplated by the law that governs philanthropy.
The project aims at encouraging volunteering, community participation and social entrepreneurship by promoting educational actions involving students and the community in general in projects that focus on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations Organization (UNO). Another relevant aspect is its result in terms of participation of volunteers and supporters through service and donation of materials.
