Entrepreneur delivered 46 houses to his employees

Before the housing crisis that Mexico faces, businessman Alejandro Defassiaux, president of the Board of Directors of the Industrial Safety Multisystem (GMSI), has been uninterrupted for 16 years by giving houses to its employees.

The problem is that in this country, housing development for the most needy people is missing. We have a dramatic housing problem.

Defassiaux, Master in Private Security Administration and Technology from the Anahuac University, is the founding president of GMSI, the only company in the branch with more than 40 years of market experience with 30 subsidiaries and 14 thousand workers.

In an interview with The dayHe explains that from the beginning he understood the urgency of caring for the selection and training of his staff and, therefore, the need to offer the best salaries, benefits and incentives, at the time of promoting values ​​at work.

That is why he has given 46 completely furnished houses, with permanent maintenance coverage so that the new owners do not need to adjust their family budget.

During the delivery of the houses, the joy of the beneficiary families was present: It is about being consistent with a social justice policy, of helping the least to contribute to the benefit of our employees and have a more reliable work environmentsaid Lesssiaux.

Gorgonio Rojas, one of the fortunate employees, said visibly excited, that the house was a dream of a fulfilled because he had been inhabiting a rental house: Luck has come. When they told me I couldn’t believe it. I’ve been working in multisystems for 25 years. It’s a radical change, I’m very happy, thank you very much for changing my life.

Defassiaux, highlighted the importance of building houses for workers and their families, instead of departments: Felipe Calderón encouraged the horizontal development of housing, but when Enrique Peña Nieto arrived he continued with vertical development and many of those developments were abandoned.

Duck: Therefore, we must highlight the importance of horizontal development. When building houses, great lands that are without occupy are allowed to take a value, especially so that people are close to where people work and give them an additional value to which they have today.

He considers that for years the Mexican State abandoned its vital function of providing quality housing to workers and that even tax laws are not helping either.

Years ago I gave them the house without any problem. It happens that the change of the fiscal law comes and houses could no longer be given. The legal departure we found is that, a real estate company of my property, buy the house and then we give it to a life in a vital. And when fiscally I just deduced it, I sell them for a weight.

Therefore, he affirms that stimuli are required for entrepreneurs to give houses to their workers and that is fiscally deductible: Today those who are determined to support our employees by giving them housing, we have to fight even with the fiscal problem.
