The existing policy has served our organization well, but changing circumstances have necessitated a fresh approach. Over time, we have encountered challenges and identified areas where the policy is no longer as effective as it should be. These include:

• Competitive Landscape: Our industry has evolved, and our competitors now offer more attractive benefits packages. To remain competitive and retain top talent, we must enhance our offerings.

• Regulatory Changes: Recent legislative updates have introduced new requirements for employee benefits, making it essential for us to revise our policy to ensure full compliance.

To maintain our commitment to legal and ethical practices, it is imperative that we align our employee benefits policy with the latest legal and regulatory requirements. The proposed amendments are in direct response to new labor laws and legal counsel advice.
