Employees Bonus: The relationship between employees and companies is closely tied to salaries. While the thought in employees' minds might be, "We work because we get paid," the company's perspective could be, "We pay so the employees work." If this bond remains purely transactional, there’s little newness in the relationship. However, when this connection goes beyond just pay, both the company and employees experience growth and happiness. One such company, which continues to nurture this bond, has taken an extraordinary step by gifting employees an unprecedented bonus, rewarding them with Rs. 4 lakhs each.

Company Details: The renowned luxury brand Hermès from Paris shared its profits with employees. Not only did the company achieve high profits, but it also made significant business growth. As a result, Hermès announced a bonus for its employees. Every employee working with the company was gifted Rs. 4 lakhs (4,500 euros) as a bonus. Hermès continues to be the largest fashion company in France. In 2024, the company generated revenue of 15.2 billion euros, marking a 15% profit increase compared to 2023.
