UAE’s Danube Group reimburses salary cuts made during Covid-19

UAE’s Danube Group has announced its intent to reimburse 30 per cent of the salary cut made during April and May this year to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The decision was complemented by the organisation hiring over 350 people.

“Our group has been doing considerably well,” said Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman of Danube Group. “Of course, there had been some hitches along the way due to this pandemic and we found that nothing was unmanageable on account of the determination of our employees to sail through this intact. Those efforts have now translated into us being able to hire more people now and return the salary that was deducted.”

“We have been able to the reach where we are with the support and determination of our employees and we thought, having more of them would take us further than where we are today.”

Earlier this year, Danube Group distributed Dhs1m worth of food kits across the UAE among those negatively affected by the pandemic.
