In MF Dnes (Youth Front Today) 6. 6. 2016, they wrote about flexibility and open communication. That financial motivation is no longer enough for employees. And also, that a strong company culture separates the capable from the incapable.

And the biggest success was a New Year's lunch and a weekend on bicycles with the partners and a contribution made to any education. Also, free management days during the year.
