Each month our associates led by TakeCare Champions from every department carry-out activities that aim to assist venues at local communities, our surrounding environment, and programmes that improve our associates' mental and physical well-being. Our associates know that they belong to an organization that makes a positive difference in their lives and those around them. Through these activities, we are all rewarded with a sense of fulfillment beyond professional work," he adds.
