Employee perks - how does this one sound?

I had a couple of write-ups recently about awards for companies and their outstanding achievements. But how does this one from Shin Corporation in Thailand sound like?

They start a "People Year" in 2005 with the aim of treating their employees better by enhancing perks provided to them. One of them is the cutting of 30 minutes off the working day, which will allow Shin employees to come in a half-hour later, at 8:30 am, and leave at 5:30 pm as usual.

The campaign also "includes three "Fund Access" programmes available for staff looking to start sideline business projects, as well as scholarships for the children of its staff and master's degree scholarships at both local and overseas universities." This is for meant for projects with high potential and related to the group's business direction.

Does this sound great? It sure does!
