120 MHP employees left their laptops and flip charts to one side last Friday (April 20) and instead reached for shovels and pickaxes in order to aid a good cause. The objective: Revitalise and modernise the outdoor area of the Linzgau youth and children's home near Lake Constance. At the end of a long day of hard work, the employees had successfully assembled new playground equipment, set up a grill area and laid out a garden with paths. The MHP employees also had time to paint the interior walls of some rooms. MHP naturally took over the arising material costs.
"We usually come together once a year to spend a pleasant day together as a team – like the time we went paragliding", says Dr. Oliver Oswald, Head of Technology & Integration Solutions at MHP. "This time, however, all the colleagues decided they wanted to do something else and use the time and budget to help a good cause. We all have had the good fortune to have a good education and have jobs, which most of us really love. This is why we wanted to try and give a little something back."
