SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 825 - 823: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 2

Diamond was in awe as she listened to Ivy. She had taken her time to come up with so many things that were very helpful to her, to be honest.

Diamond didn’t much about the money. Be it losing it or earning it. As long as that money was used to make someone’s life better than the current. Then its use was well served.

While listening to Ivy, she couldn’t help but realize that some of these benefits her staff didn’t have them.

The cost of living was currently high and if she wasn’t mistaken, there were other staff under her who were getting paid less than A$2,000. That wasn’t her fault, but the normal wages set in the industry. Anyway, they were satisfied, but if she were to increase, then it could even be better.

Anyway, she wasn’t planning on blindly increasing everyone’s wages like that. She would have to leave that matter to Nancy, Kiara, and Ivy. They would see which amount was fit for everyone. They were the ones managing the businesses, anyway.

After Ivy finished her report, Diamond amusedly applauded Ivy. Making the super assistant blush as she shyly looked away.

Diamond chuckled amusedly when she saw that for a moment before calming down.

"Um ... thank you for such a well-detailed report. I have heard what you have mentioned and I find the benefits quite appropriate. So, let’s talk about those and what we can do to achieve that," she said seriously, tapping the desk, ideas already swimming in her mind.

Ivy’s eyes sparkled when she heard that, knowing that it was about to go down.

"When it comes to accommodation. Let us just go ahead with the purchase of houses and apartments. Like you said, we can pay for them the first month but in the period to come. Let them fend for themselves. It’s not like they weren’t able to pay before they met me.

For the commuter issues, deal with it. Tabulate the number of staff without cars and see how many buses we might need. We have a garage. So, no pressure about where to put that. We ....."

Diamond picked every single benefit and talked on it for a while providing ideas on how to settle the matter.

Anything that money could solve didn’t give Diamond any stress at all. So, she wasn’t much stressed.

Moreover, she found this report quite helpful as it made her realize that there were a lot of things that her companies weren’t doing.

For example, there was the benefit of activities. She doesn’t remember hearing anything about a social gathering or team gathering event. If the companies also do something like that, the staff would be happy.

She was reminded of the sports event that she would be attending. That was that company’s method of giving back to the staff while giving them time to play and mingle without stressing anything about work.

If she were to host something like that. Her staff would be surely pleased. They only meet online but in real life, perhaps at their houses. She wanted them to gather and have fun.

So, she talked in detail regarding that matter.

After everything had been nitpicked, Diamond added in conclusion, "Rather than letting these benefits for the agency share them with Nancy, Garnet and Kiara. Let the current benefits get updated after you have gone through everything."

Ivy was all smiles, knowing that her suggestions had been accepted, and the report had gone more unexpectedly well than she thought.

She didn’t mind talking with Kiara, Garnet and Nancy. After all, they were all doing their best to manage the mistress’s empire.

After everything had been said and done, Ivy packed her things and respectfully bid Diamond goodnight. Leaving Diamond stuck to her tablet as she went through the list of the committee members with interest.

Moments later, a four-way zoom call was underway and, on the screen, four beautiful faces could be seen.

[Garnet: What did she say?]

[Ivy: She gave the go-ahead but just in case, we should look into the benefits once more as well as other assignments that she assigned.]

[Kiara: Just go ahead and tell us what she wants done. We will split the work if it’s a lot.]

[Ivy: Perfect! I will send the list of approved benefits to you all. Take a look.]

The files were sent over to the other three, who looked at them swiftly before returning to the call.

[Nancy: There are indeed several that weren’t there in the other companies.]

[Kiara: However, we need to be clear as much as we can. When it comes to the salaries and wages, I think we should implement it as wisely as we can.]

[Nancy: It will be a bit rushed. So, let’s try something like this. For all employees who worked for a year, if any of them are being paid below the approved minimum wage, then increase it. They will see that as the company favoring them. When increasing wages, we should let everyone be grateful to the company and Diamond.]

[Garnet: I agree with you about that. When it comes to the cafes, I don’t think that we need to change much. We can provide the other benefits but not all of them.]

[Kiara: then let’s do this. How about we all make a list of the benefits we think are suitable for the companies that we are in charge of?]

[Ivy: That’s a good idea.]

The four talked about the salaries issue for a while before the topic changed.

[Kiara: Just leave the matter of the houses to me. I recently came across a client who was selling a house. I didn’t think that Diamond would be interested in houses again. Now that she is, let me get back to the client and see what can be done.]

[Nancy: I guess we will leave that to you, Kiara. I will deal with the matter of buses.]

[Garnet: I have a few projects under my hands, so I guess I can’t be taking any more at this moment.]

[Ivy: That’s fine. You take care of those matters. They are pretty much important.]

[Nancy: I have been thinking that we should suggest the idea of having our own HQ. There are several companies already under DIAMOND HOLDINGS. What do you think?]

[Kiara: That sounds pretty good. Other companies can still be run from the HQ without wasting buildings. I think we should give it a try.]

[Ivy: As much as that is important. I think that we shouldn’t bring it up now.]

[Garnet: But we can just look out for any good buildings or pieces of land.]

[Nancy: That idea is pretty good. Perhaps we should focus more on land. What if she wants a building taller than the foundation?]

[Ivy: A great idea. I guess we should keep our eyes open.]

The four assistants had a long chat and jotted down what they felt was important. Exchanged expertise, advice and the like before the call finally ended.

Meanwhile, on Diamond’s side, after Ivy left and got busy with the call. She wasn’t idle as well.

After checking through the list, she started going through comments left by the fans and thought that she learnt so much of what was going on.

They were curious about the projects. In fact, they were very eager. She could see how much these committee members had prepared, especially for the countries where the projects were going to incur.

The most bustling app of all was the GEM app. Since they had once done something similar, they were already very experienced. And this time, a country close to Athary had won the chance. The fans were quite excited.

Diamond didn’t understand how Athary lost, but anyway, the competition was fair.

Anyway, unlike Country Y, the lucky country was using their money to help with the surgery of a young girl who required a heart transplant but had been lacking funds for a while.

When they got this chance, the fans decided on that girl and Diamond found that choice quite worthy.

It was unfortunate that the girl didn’t receive a lot of donations when her story came out. She wondered where all those rich people were. Nonetheless, what mattered was that her JEWELS were going to do something big.

And she wasn’t going to allow anyone to embezzle that hard-earned money. She would fight tooth and nail for her fans.

Another issue the fans were clamoring about was the concert. They were all excited, and they were already forming groups for those who lived in the same area and traveling to Frin City.

These people didn’t sleep at all and she found their conversations pretty refreshing.

Seeing the anticipation of the fans for the concert, Diamond couldn’t help but have another idea dawning on her.

"Andy, what do you think about me singing new or other songs?" thinking about the lack of songs, she asked her favorite son.

{New songs would be great but without recording them, I don’t think that should be done. You can sing and record them another time. That way, when your fans get tired of these songs, they can shift to the second batch. For now, why don’t you collaborate with Z or his EES members? Do you remember that they once asked about collaborating?} Andrea’s excited voice rang inside the office.
