Jazz’s initiative is aimed at facilitating its workforce and taking care of them in unprecedented circumstances.
“The current economic times are tough for all of us. To support the Jazz family amid the rising cost of living, we are pleased to announce a one-time inflation adjustment payout of PKR 50,000. Jazz will also absorb the tax impact of the payout,” communicated Jazz CEO Aamir Ibrahim and CPO Wajida Leclerc in an internal memo.
“We hope that the initiative will help ease financial hardships of our frontline and contractual employees to some extent,” the memo read further.
While several existing and former employees termed Mobilink/Jazz as the most caring employer in their respective careers, former Mobilink CEO Zouhair Khaliq also expressed his appreciation.
“It’s good to know that people still think that. We built Mobilink as a caring company for our employees as well as our customers and our community! Glad this is still the case,” Zouhair tweeted.
