The pair are then encouraged to have a casual chat in a relaxed setting. The aim of this is to foster more meaningful connections across our team.

🌕 ✨ Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival (also known as the Mooncake Festival). Celebrated by many Asian countries across the world, the Mid-Autumn Festival is an opportunity for reunion and togetherness during a time when the moon is believed to be at its fullest and brightest. The festival dates back over 3,000 years and is a significant event in Chinese culture.
Earlier this month, Catherine Tan facilitated a special event, where our clients were treated to a mooncake tasting while learning more about the meaning behind this important day.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all who celebrate!
