Samsung Chennai Plant Strengthens Bond with Workers and Families Through a Cultural Celebration

“Our workforce is the backbone of our success”

In a heartwarming event, the Samsung Sriperumbudur plant near Chennai, celebrated Family Day with the workers’ families.

The occasion brought together the entire Samsung workforce and their loved ones in an expression of unity. With a full day of festivities planned, the event was an unforgettable showcase of Samsung’s commitment to its people and the rich cultural diversity that defines its workplace.

“Our workforce is the backbone of our success, and today, we celebrate not just our workers, but their families as well. The strength of Samsung lies in the strong bond we share with each other, and days like these remind us that we are not just a company but a family,” said SH Yoon, Managing Director, Samsung Chennai Plant, expressing his heartfelt appreciation in his welcome speech.

The day kicked off with a spirited Chenda Melam performance, a traditional percussion ensemble from Kerala, setting the tone with its powerful, rhythmic beats. As the resonant sound of the chenda drums filled the air, workers and their families were greeted with refreshments, laying the groundwork for a day that blended work and family in a meaningful celebration.

One of the highlights of the day was a surprise video where families welcomed the workers, creating emotional moments for many. Balamuni, the wife of a long-time factory employee, said, “This day made us feel like we are part of the Samsung family. My husband always speaks about how much he values working here, and we got to see firsthand the sense of community that exists within the company. The factory tour was especially exciting for the children—seeing where their father works filled them with pride.”

Families were treated to a guided tour of the factory, offering a glimpse into the state-of-the-art facilities where their loved ones work each day. The tour, followed by a lunch gathering, fostered conversations between families, workers, and management, further deepening the sense of camaraderie.

The event also featured two lively photo booth sessions, ensuring that everyone took home memories of the day. In the second half of the day, a fun fashion show took center stage, with workers and their families showcasing their creativity. As cheers echoed through the plant, the joy and energy were palpable.

Divakar, Operator, PBA & SMD at plant, shared his thoughts: “The Family Day event made us feel valued. It’s not every day that our families get to understand what we do and see where we spend most of our time. Today, they got to experience a part of our lives that is usually separate, and that means a lot to me.”

The day concluded with prize distribution, group photos, and a lucky draw, but the lasting takeaway was Samsung’s commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and pride within its workforce.
The event was a testament to Samsung’s people-centric culture, where employees and their families are placed at the heart of the company’s success.
