A COMPANY in Taiwan is offering a “breakup support” policy to help staff cope with heartache.
A social media user shared her surprise on Threads after her boss announced a NT10,000 (RM1,460) claim for employees experiencing breakups or divorces, reported Kwong Wah Yit Poh.
This initiative came about during a company camping trip where several colleagues shared that they were dealing with breakups, creating an emotional scene.
The unexpected twist came when the boss announced that the company will provide a breakup support of NT10,000.
What initially seemed like a lighthearted remark soon turned into a formal policy, with the company officially announcing the “breakup support” initiative, aimed at helping employees navigate emotional downturns.
It said this policy acknowledges that relationship issues can impact not only emotions but also work performance and quality of life.
The announcement has drawn attention and envy online.
Some Internet users have praised the compassionate leadership, with some humorously questioning how they might qualify for such a benefit themselves.
