The initiative was started for those who do not know how to cook or afford quality food
On Sunday, Dubai-based retail group Union Coop said it would grant its employees three-day paid leave to enable them and their families to visit the Expo 2020 Dubai.
Before Union Coop, many other major companies in the UAE, such as Galadari Brothers and Danube Group, have also announced paid leave for their staff to visit Expo 2020.
All seven emirates also announced holidays for the public sector to visit Expo 2020, which will run till March 31, 2022.
Ahmad Bin Kenaid Al Falasi, human resources and Emiratization director at Union Coop, said this decision comes within its objectives to encourage employees to participate and attend national and international events organized and hosted by the Emirate of Dubai.
“Expo 2020 is considered as one of the most significant international events and exhibitions that should not be missed by anyone who wishes to gain new insights and knowledge from this unique exhibition that brings the whole world together in Dubai,” he said.
