JamPrime, along with its affiliate company Jam Press, has made the commendable decision to give all its employees a day off on the extraordinary occasion of February 29th, a leap year day that only occurs once every four years, demonstrating its strong commitment to promoting a healthy work-life balance and the well-being of its employees.
The company recognises the rarity of this day and has chosen to mark it by providing its employees with a well-deserved pause. “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,” announced CEO Ben Nicholls.
“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.”
Offering this day off reflects the company’s philosophy that, although work is an integral part of life, it is vital to maintain a balance and dedicate time to personal enjoyment and relaxation. The company encourages its employees to spend their day off doing what they love most, whether it be enjoying a quiet walk, immersing themselves in a favourite book, catching up with friends over a leisurely coffee, tackling some overdue chores, or simply kicking back and relaxing at home.
“We see this as a small gesture of appreciation for the hard work, commitment, and resilience each team member has shown,” said a company spokesperson. “It’s our way of acknowledging the importance of personal time for rejuvenation and joy.”
Additionally, the company suggests its staff take this unique leap year day as an opportunity to explore a new hobby or revisit an old passion that they haven’t had time for. “I’ll be going for a surf!” shared the CEO, illustrating the diverse ways staff can enjoy their time off.
Jam Press is hopeful that this day off will bring joy and renewed energy to its employees and also set a positive example for the importance of 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 added.
