The brand new current CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, announced yesterday a series of important improvements and news regarding Apple for this new year 2018, by means of an email to all the company's employees in the United States, as well as to senior officials in the countries in which it operates, in order to inform the human capital of the Cupertino-based company.
In this email, Cook wanted to keep all the members that make up Apple USA informed about relevant issues for the company, such as repatriation of existing capital abroad, a special bonus of $ 2500 in shares for block employees and a 2 × 1 program in donations to local NGOs.
We started the year and, with the aim of informing all its workers, Cook wanted to contact all of them through an e-mail explaining some of the news for this year that begins.
On the one hand, as we had already talked about in recent weeks, Apple will repatriate a large part of its profits obtained in recent years abroad, providing around about $ 30 billion for expenses in the North American country. This will allow you to make greater investments in the country, buy companies and take care of what is most important, the core of the business, also increasing the human capital available in the native country.
On the other hand, revealed that employees would get this year a bonus of about $ 2500 in company legal action, increasing the participation in the stock market of its employees.
Lastly, reported on an initiative that seeks immediate support in donations made by Apple employees to NGOsSo for every dollar that an employee donates during this year 2018, Apple will donate double, up to a maximum of $ 10.000.
You can read the email that Tim Cook wrote in his handwriting, and sent to all employees in the country, below:
