This consequence motivates us on the trail geared toward selling the well-being of individuals within the office, in an method of steady sharing with the commerce unions.”
Critical points in branches
In the overall appreciation of the flexibleness bundle by staff, nonetheless, some elements stay to be improved, particularly within the branches the place an experiment is underway wherein 40 massive branches and 250 small ones are collaborating.
