The Casais Group has reaffirmed its commitment to employee well-being with an additional stop for the Braga Urban Transport (TUB) Route 50 bus. The main aim of this change is to improve accessibility to the new industrial centre located in Padim da Graça, where several of the Group’s companies operate, thereby promoting more efficient mobility better suited to employees’ schedules.
This improvement in mobility is an integral part of the general strategy of valuing employees that includes several measures aimed at enhancing the personal and professional life of each employee. It benefits them by having a positive impact on their schedules, and also promotes their health and well-being. In addition to the free TUB pass for all Casais Group employees, a benefit implemented in 2023, the company also offers the X4US shared transport network, contributing to more sustainable travel solutions, thereby reducing the carbon footprint.
With this timetable and route update, the first two morning buses and last afternoon bus now include a detour from the previous route in order to serve the area of the new industrial centre directly via Avenida do Assento, in Braga. This update guarantees a quicker and more convenient connection for employees who start and end their shifts there. The penultimate shift in the afternoon, which had already incorporated this change, will continue to travel via Padim da Graça, accessing the centre via its rear entrance.
The Casais Group also maintains an active network of protocols and partnerships in various areas, providing employees and their families with access to special conditions for healthcare and well-being services, and pharmacies and gyms, among other things. This integrated approach reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to creating a fairer, healthier and more motivating work environment.
In terms of healthcare and well-being, employees also benefit from free nutrition and general medicine consultations, nursing and psychological support services, a system designed to enable close and continuous monitoring. All employees in Portugal are also covered by health insurance, reinforcing the safety net at different stages of life.
The organisation currently has more than a hundred vacancies covering various countries and jobs which are part of its operations.
“We believe that looking after our people is an investment in the future of the Group. The partnership with TUB is more than a logistical improvement. It is a concrete step towards building a simpler, more sustainable and more balanced daily life for those who work with us. We will continue to invest in solutions that make life easier for our employees, both within and outside of the workplace,” says António Carlos Rodrigues, CEO of the Casais Group.
