The constitutional guarantee of decent work only becomes tangible when translated into corporate policy; thus, the Human Resources–General Affairs (HR-GA) unit holds a pivotal role in transforming labor regulations into daily workplace practices. This article examines how the HR-GA unit at PT Steel Center Indonesia fulfills its function of protecting workers and explores how the values of Pancasila can serve as a strategic foundation for the unit. The study employs a normative approach, enriched by the first author’s professional experience, an analysis of internal documents, and a review of relevant literature, all synthesized through qualitative methods. The findings indicate that the HR-GA unit operates across several interconnected domains—compliance, labor union relations, workplace safety, and employee welfare—particularly as labor regulations continue to evolve following the Constitutional Court Ruling Number 168/PUU-XXI/2023. The five principles of Pancasila can be operationalized into specific guidelines, mechanisms, and success metrics for HR-GA policies—ranging from respect for workers' dignity and the establishment of bilateral dialogue forums to the implementation of transparent wage systems. This article proposes a three-layered model that integrates regulatory compliance, channels for employee input, and periodic assessment, ensuring that worker protection is not merely a formal requirement on paper, but a living reality within the organization’s daily operations.
