Some companies will maintain the benefit of offering useful vacations for the children of their workers, In which classes of artistic activities, painting, theater (82%), sports and physical activity (64%) and cooking classes (55%) stand out, which will be offered both online and in person.

“The will to continue providing these initiatives, and some even in person, shows the empathy and commitment that their workers have with each one of them, and that today, more than before, is transcendental,” he stressed.
