In a move reflecting its dedication to employee welfare and the importance of balancing work with life, JamPrime and its sister entity Jam Press have declared that they will be granting all employees a day off on the special occasion of February 29th, a leap year day that only makes its appearance once every four years.
Understanding the unique nature of this day, Jam has chosen to observe it by affording its workforce a much-needed day of rest. “This Thursday is not just any other day; it marks the rare occurrence of February 29th, a leap year day that comes only once every four years,” CEO Ben Nicholls remarked.
“We could have capitalised on this extra day for more work, but life is too short for that. Instead, we want our staff at Jam Press and JamPrime to enjoy this bonus day in any way they choose.”
The provision of a day off is a testament to the company’s belief that, while work is an essential aspect of our lives, achieving a balance and reserving time for oneself is crucial for personal happiness and rejuvenation. Employees are being encouraged to spend their day off engaging in activities that bring them joy, whether that be a peaceful stroll in the park, getting engrossed in a beloved book, reconnecting with friends over a cup of coffee, sorting out home chores, or simply taking a day to relax and unwind at home.
“We see this as a small gesture of appreciation for the hard work, commitment, and resilience each team member has shown,” expressed a spokesperson for the company. “It’s our way of acknowledging the importance of personal time for rejuvenation and joy.”
The company also encourages its employees to use the leap year day as a chance to dive into something new or pick up a past hobby that’s been left on the backburner. “I’ll be going for a surf!” exclaimed the CEO, showcasing the variety of ways in which the day off can be enjoyed.
Jam Press is optimistic that this day off will not only provide its employees with happiness and a renewed sense of energy but also serve as an example of the significance of prioritising mental health and well-being in the workplace.
“Let’s leap into the rest of the year with a sense of renewal, ready to face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead with vigour and enthusiasm!” the spokesperson concluded.
