'We decided to help protect our employees”: Why this insurance company is offering staff free self-defence classes

In this member-exclusive myGrapevine+ piece, we explore the concept of offering a very unusual perk to staff. It explores:

  • How this perk could be massively successful, if implemented successfully

  • How other businesses have gotten similar messaging wrong

This piece is exclusive to myGrapevine+ and is only available as part of our premium membership.
