Nagad has granted a half-day leave to all its employees to allow them to spend more time with their mothers on Mother鈥檚 Day.
The announcement was made by chief executive officer of Nagad Ltd, Tanvir A Mishuk, said a press release on Sunday.
Tanvir A Mishuk said, 鈥業 personally witnessed how much sacrifice my mother made for her children. All mothers do the same. My request is, at least today, give some time to your mothers. For this reason, I have instructed all our Nagad family members to work half-day and then go home to spend time with their mothers.鈥�
鈥楾he initiative isn鈥檛 just for their own employees. Nagad has also announced special offers for its customers on Mother鈥檚 Day. As part of a special campaign, Nagad is offering the opportunity for customers to do shopping worth Tk 20,000, have lunch or dinner and watch a movie with mothers at cinemas, by making an assisted recharge of Tk 100 or more to their mothers鈥� phone numbers,鈥� the release said.
Like most countries around the world, Mother鈥檚 Day is celebrated in Bangladesh on the second Sunday of May. It鈥檚 a day to recognize the immense role mothers play in shaping society and development. However, the problem is that in Bangladesh, Sunday is the first working day of the week. As a result, children often miss the opportunity to spend this day with their mothers. Nagad has now addressed this issue.
Nagad ensures that employees who wish to spend time with their mothers can take half-day leave without any deduction from their annual leave quota. Besides, the company has conveyed its heartfelt wishes to all employees鈥� mothers on this occasion.
鈥楾his decision is not an isolated one for Nagad. As a company focused on employee well-being, Nagad celebrates each employee鈥檚 birthday with a cake. Furthermore, on birthdays, employees are given half-day leave to spend time with their families,鈥� said the release.
A few days ago, amid a scorching heatwave, Nagad took a pioneering decision to ensure the safety of field workers.
Nagad鈥檚 CEO Tanvir A Mishuk instructed to prioritize both business goals and physical well-being simultaneously in April. Therefore, employees were allowed to wear casual attire to the office.
Although Nagad, like all other companies, has a strict dress code policy, this time employees are allowed to wear casual clothes made of loose and breathable fabrics for office work.
Nagad has come up with an exciting offer for its large customer base to honour a remarkable bond between mothers and their children on the occasion of Mother鈥檚 Day.
Customers, who will make an assisted recharge of BDT 100 or more to their mothers鈥� mobile numbers of any operator through Nagad app or USSD *167#, will stand a chance to enjoy the delightful experience of free shopping, a lunch or dinner date, a movie at cineplex with their beloved mothers.
Five winning customers will get the opportunity to buy their mothers any products up to BDT 20,000 from Meena Bazar. Besides they will have lunch or dinner and watch movies at cineplex. The campaign will run between 12 and 16 May 2024. A customer will be eligible for the gift only once during the whole campaign period.
