GLS organizes corporate blood donations every year

Blood donation

GLS organizes corporate blood donations every year (for the 4th time in 2019) with the help of the National Blood Transfusion Service, and a large number of colleagues signed up to be volunteer blood donors. After a preliminary medical examination, 4.5 decilitres of whole blood has been collected in a sterile blood bag with a single-use needle and also an additional few test tubes of blood for testing purposes. The blood will be used for complex surgeries, certain life-saving treatments and for the production of therapeutic blood products. Along with this year's campaign, more than 100 colleagues took part in corporate blood donation over the past four years.

Training, professional development

GLS pays special attention to vocational training. Young people enrolled in tertiary education can participate in practice-oriented training. For its employees, GLS Group provides opportunities for professional development.

GLS host every year a family day

Family day

GLS hosted its first family day on the first weekend of October 2019 at the company's headquarters, where children had the opportunity to see where their parents work. They could inspect the conveyor belt system, the delivery cars and had the chance to hop on the parcel delivery bikes as well. And of course many other interesting challenges and skill games awaited children of all ages. The Soroksár Millennium Site Dog School held a spectacular demonstration.

Selective waste collection

In order to improve the wellbeing and awareness of its employees, GLS also pays great attention to the development of corporate environmental culture and to operating appropriate, healthy and environmentally friendly offices. As a result, selective waste bins have been placed in the office and in the factory areas.
