Chennai, Oct 13: Seeking to enhance employee productivity and motivate them to perform better, a structural steel design and detailing company, Team Detailing Solutions has gifted as many as 28 cars and 29 bikes to its employees.
A variety of brand new cars ranging from Hyundai, Tata, Maruti Suzuki and Mercedes Benz were presented to the employees as a token of appreciation for their hard work and dedication, an official said.

"We select the candidates who are highly motivated and a concept of buying a car or a bike is like a dream for them.
