We also have introduced programs to prevent illnesses unrelated to the workplace such as: health awareness campaigns, medical checks and additional clinical tests aimed at early detection and prevention of different types of illnesses.
We encourage our employees to engage in sports and physical exercise as well as promote healthy diets by offering nutritional and low calorie options in our lunchrooms.
