Christmas and the new year is the perfect time to get to know more about those we spend our daily lives with at the dinner table. At GTHR, we celebrated it with great care, and everyone was able to get involved in their own way. It was on this occasion that we gathered with all employees.
There was also a traditional Chinese touch! It is customary in the Middle Kingdom to eat... apples at Christmas. This is all due to the homophone, a similar-sounding word. In Chinese, an apple is ping guo, on the other hand, silent night is ping an ye. To celebrate this custom, we all enjoyed them in December!
This time was exceptionally conducive to meetings. We decided to use it also to invite our employees to a training course on intercultural communication. It was attended by 15 people from various departments who work with Chinese speakers on a daily basis.
– I'm glad that our employees were so eager to engage in joint celebrations. It's important for us to combine traditions and celebrate important days with respect for diversity. This is how we at GTHR create an open work environment – says Aleksandra Kołaczek of the Translation and Polish-Chinese Relations Department.
