Front page of Entre-Nous newspaper in 1947 featuring the company’s wellness program that gives workers free access to a doctor and nurse in case of illness or accident. The family-owned company is implementing measures uncommon in the industry to improve the occupational health and safety of its employees. These services include free access to first aid and workers can receive care from the doctor and nurse. At a time when medical expenses are not covered by any public programs, this is an appealing benefit for employees.
