In keeping with their commitment to ensure welfare and wellbeing of the company’s pool of drivers and their families, Sri Lanka’s fastest growing tech start-up PickMe recently handed over school supplies to children of their top-performing drivers for the new school year through a CSR initiative called ‘Nena Pahana’. 100 drivers recognized by the company were appreciated through this programme.
Nena Pahana which took place on 27th and 28Th December 2017 at PickMe Head Office mainly served as a gesture of appreciation by PickMe for the valuable service and support of the driver affiliate. The initiative was also a great moment for their children which showcased their parents’ great work towards the company and inspired them to pursue their studies in the New Year with more enthusiasm.
Speaking at the event, Manager – Driver Operations at Pickme Nishad Owitaarachchi said: “We believe our single biggest asset is our pool of driver affiliates. Through programmes like ‘Nena Pahana’, we want to recognize them and their family members for their great contribution. We have drivers from all over the country, from different religious and ethnicities, coming together as one family to work for a home-grown company that is not merely focussed on the bottom-line but also cares a great deal about the wellbeing of all its stakeholders – from drivers to investors and customers. We hope to carry programmes of similar nature in the future as well, to recognize and encourage our driver affiliates.”
