msg News: Help, presents and good Christmas cheer with colleagues
At the end of the year, we at msg life Slovakia can find time for fun alongside our duties. The end of the year is always a very special time at msg life Slovakia. Although we have many deadlines, we always manage to find time for fun alongside our duties. An example of this is not only the traditional Christmas party Weihnachtsfeier, which will finally take place after two years of covid, but also the events St. Nicholas for Children and Secret Santa. We have prepared many surprises for our colleagues in the last weeks of 2022 and here is an overview of some of them. Just like every year, we have not forgotten a little treat for our little ones. In addition to the St. Nicholas treats, the children of our colleagues had the opportunity to take part in face painting, traditional workshops and at the end they met St. Nicholas, an angel, but also the devil. “I remember when we first organized this event. Back then we hosted about 15-20 children. This year we prepared around 90 presents for the St. Nicholas event. This is also another proof of how our company is growing more and more. Every year there is more interest in the events, and we are happy about that.” Zuzka, the office manager, remembers her first company events. On St. Nicholas Day, we delighted our colleagues with a custom-made Advent calendar with a short verse added. During the end of the year, however, we don’t only think about our colleagues or their children, we also like to get involved in various volunteer activities. As part of November’s World Kindness Day, we helped the association “Cesta von”, which works to help children from excluded communities. We hope that they will be able to do so thanks to the shipment of educational and sensory toys that we donated to the Omamy project. We continued to help during the month of December. Our colleagues had the opportunity to donate blood or even give up their Christmas gift to a chosen organization. Helping the sick and abandoned

“We give our colleagues the opportunity to choose their Christmas present before Christmas. This year, we decided to include volunteer companies in the list. Those who want to help or simply have not chosen anything from the list of corporate gifts can donate the amount of their gift to a company that cares for people in need, to purchase material aid intended for war refugees, terminally ill children or abandoned animals. We were positively surprised by the great interest in donations to voluntary organizations. Colleagues donated a total of 3,500 euros. The company msg life Slovakia doubled the amount and 7,000 euros will go to OZ Plamienok, Vagus, Útulok and Help Ukraine,” says Dominika.

Weihnachtsfeier after two years The Bratislava office was visited by Robert Hess, a member of the company’s board of directors. On this occasion, we prepared a get-together for colleagues with a Christmas lunch and Christmas gift distribution. The following day we continued the celebration of the most beautiful holiday of the year with a Weihnachtsfeier, or Christmas party, at the Saffron Hotel. There was an entertaining programme for colleagues, thanking them for their high work commitment, delicious refreshments but also a Secret Santa to help colleagues get to know each other better, not only between departments but also between branches. The expected high attendance was confirmed and the hall was filled not only with colleagues from Bratislava, but also from Zilina and Kosice. We enjoyed the event and are looking forward to what 2023 will bring!
