A: the company that Ghad works for really takes care of him.
B: what do you mean?
A: well, not only does he have two weeks vacation every year, but he also has sick leave which includes 5 optional days off a year for mental health days.
B: mental health days? Jeeze, I wish my company had some plan like that. Sometimes the corporate world cares more about money than anything else. I think it’s great to see some companies, like the one Chad works for, that are caring about the quality of life of their employees.
A: no kidding. Chad’s company also has a gym in their office building to encourage all employees to keep fit. They provide medical and dental insurance for all full-time workers, and they also organize company social gatherings.
B:like what kind of social gatherings?
A: once a year they’ll have a company picnic, they also sponsor a company Christmas party and New Year’s party. They focus on continuing educatiuon by having 8 company-wide training events every year, and encouraging staff to apply for conferences and training meetings outside the company.
B: wow, the welfare of the employees seems top priority to management…
A: needless to say, company morale is very high…
