Safilo celebrated its 3rd annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day on Thursday, April 27th, the first one orchestrated in Safilo’s new Secaucus North American headquarters. Safilo hosted a record-breaking 66 children between the ages of 5 and 15 who were either relatives or friends of Safilo employees.
The day was planned to go beyond the average “shadowing” of the adult that brought them. Children participated in a full day of fun-filled organized activities in a hands-on interactive environment, exposing them to many different careers within the company.
Some of the highlights of the day included:
- Touring Safilo’s new corporate offices.
- Understanding what the public relations team does.
- Creating a budget with the accounting department and learning about the differences between a debit and credit.
- Learning about the trends, colours, materials, etc. that inspires the product creation department when designing frames.
- Playing interactive games with members of the customer service and human relations departments.
- Using imagination and creativity to create summer window designs and Safilo logos.
The children were also treated to a lunchtime pizza party and a movie screening in the company’s second floor auditorium.
