Good news for McDonald’s employees in Sri Lanka
Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished.
A few Sri Lankan companies have stepped in to help McDonald’s employees secure jobs after the chain of outlets was shut down as directed by the courts.
Nothing brightens a day like an act of unexpected kindness such as this with all the turmoil in the world. McDonald’s employees were invited through several LinkedIn posts by at least four companies to join their cadre.
One such company, Astron Ltd engaged in the manufacture and marketing of pharmaceuticals, Nutrition supplements, Animal Health, and Herbal Products in Sri Lanka has stepped up to offer employment to McDonald’s employees. “As a socially responsible organisation, Astron Limited has decided to look at the possibility of absorbing a few employees who were previously employed by McDonald’s. We have a few we can offer in Astron canteens currently. So we would like to explore the job fit and culture fit of candidates for our organisation,” Kumarini Seneviratne, Head of Human Resources, Admin and Legal, Astron Limited told the Business Times on Thursday. This act of kindness by Astron Ltd not only provides job security for the affected McDonald’s employees but also shows that companies are willing to support the local workforce during difficult times. It is commendable that other such companies also recognised the skills and potential of these employees and offered them new opportunities in their industry. So shines a good deed… in a weary world.
