Niteco getways 2020 – A trip to Phu Quoc paradise

Vacation is always one of the signatures in corporate culture. In addition to the minimum full-wage leave policy of at least 12 days per year, companies always want to bring the spirit of refreshment to employees as much as possible by encouraging them to join plenty of collective activities such as traveling. To a tropical country like Vietnam, summer can't be more ideal for the whole company to have a short trip and have fun together.

Of course, Niteco Vietnam is not the exception. The company is applying the famous philosophy of Swedish culture, Lagom, which places emphasis on balance between work and personal life, for instance, a short break during working hour. In addition to bonding and rejuvenating, sightseeing activities are also appreciation from the Board of Directors for the relentless efforts and dedication of the employees throughout the year.

Due to Covid 19 pandemic, the company had to postpone this summer holiday to the end of the year until the situation was basically under control to ensure the safety of all employees. And the destination of Nitecan's 2020 vacation trip is the 5-star Mövenpick Resort Waverly Phu Quoc hotel.

2020 also coincides with the 10th anniversary of the company's establishment. The anniversary party is usually held separately at the beginning of December every year. But due to the epidemic, the management decided to combine both events in this trip.
