Martin Bauer Group creates social fund for employees

2011/09/22 | the nature network®

Vestenbergsgreuth, Germany – In early September, the Martin Bauer Group instituted a social fund of its own. In future the fund will provide financial assistance to colleagues who encounter difficulties through no fault of their own. The fund is based on a fundamental principle: If many people contribute just a little, they can still make big things happen. Specifically, this means: Effective immediately, the Martin Bauer Group will take the odd-cent amounts that resulted for many wage- and salary-earners after the close of the pay negotiations in summer 2011 and pay these amounts directly into the social fund. 'In this way, each employee makes a contribution of a few cents to the social fund', notes Adolf Wedel, Managing Partner at the Martin Bauer Group. 'The company will then match the imposing total accumulated in this way.'More
