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…
查德工作的那家公司真的非常照顧他.
你是什么意思?
是這樣,他不但每年有2周的假期,而且還能休病假,包括一年可以任意休息5天的精神健康假.
精神健康假?哎呀,我希望我的公司也有類似的計劃.有時大公司更關(guān)心的是錢而不是其它東西.令人欣慰的是看到一些像查德工作的公司就非常重視員工的生活質(zhì)量.
沒錯,查德任職的公司在辦公樓里還有個體育館,鼓勵員工鍛煉身體保持健康.他們?yōu)樗腥罩频穆毠ざ继峁┝酸t(yī)療和牙齒保險,而且還組織各種公司社交晚會.
