However, a significant number of managers replied that this year there is a decrease in the budget, in view of the increase in purchasing, production and operating costs."
want to buy
The employees are very happy to receive gifts, but there are also those who do not take advantage of the notes for all kinds of reasons, which results in the loss of a great deal of monetary value.
Yaacov Alosh, CEO of the Vaadim company, which coordinates the socio-economic information of the workers' councils in Israel, says that "20%-25% of the workers do not use their notes.
We estimate it to be in the order of NIS 200-400 million per holiday, which is a lot.
It is true that the notes are valid for five years, but usually 80% exercise them close to the period and they no longer save it for the next holiday."
