Life's complexities may be difficult to manage on a nine-to-five schedule: the important doctor's appointment or the daycare schedule to adapt to, are a few examples. MDA understands and has developed policies and practices to accommodate employees who need to balance their jobs, families, or life's issues. This flexible schedule is designed to encourage work-life balance.
MDA supports the family through regular events that cater to employee families and children.
We pride ourselves on the diversity of social and sports activities
organized by employees. Team-building events are held throughout the year for
individual projects. Business Divisions and Groups conduct their own ways of celebrating
wins, with special events such as bowling, cricket matches, and whitewater kayaking
trips.
