Nagad, the country's leading mobile financial service provider, has come up with a special arrangement on the occasion of Mother's Day, declaring a half-day leave to all its employees to spend more time with their mothers on this day, reports UNB.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nagad Ltd Tanvir A. Mishuk came up with the declaration on Sunday, said a press release.
Tanvir A Mishuk said: "I 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." This initiative isn't just for their own employees.
Nagad has also announced special offers for its customers on Mother's 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 mother's phone numbers.
Like most countries around the world, Mother's Day is celebrated in Bangladesh on the second Sunday of May. It's a day to recognise 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.
