Jakarta, April 29, 2022 – After nearly two years of the pandemic, the government has finally announced the return of the traditional “mudik” for Eid 2022. Through the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub), the government has emphasized that health protocols must be followed during travel. This announcement brings joy to the public who have not been reunited with their families in their hometowns for the past two years.
In response, VENTENY, a technology company promoting employee happiness, has partnered with PT. Aino Indonesia will launch the #MudikHepi: Mudik Bareng VENTENY program. This joint mudik program, utilizing land routes, will cover several cities in West and Central Java, including Brebes, Cirebon, Semarang, Yogyakarta, and Solo. These cities are known for having the highest number of travelers each year, with Brebes alone seeing 76,016 travelers annually, making it one of the most frequented routes.
VENTENY’s Group COO, Damar Raditya, stated that this program is an initiative by VENTENY that goes beyond the regular services available in the app and aims to enhance employee happiness and engagement by meeting their daily needs.
“Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are important and cherished moments for our employees. Through this free mudik program with VENTENY, we hope to alleviate employees’ travel expenses for returning to their hometowns,” said Damar.
VENTENY’s VP of Brand Communication, Riko Simanjuntak, added, “This joint mudik program is also focused on ensuring that after the Eid holidays and family reunions, employees can return to work feeling happy, which will significantly impact their work motivation and result in better performance.”
The mudik program, organized for the first time by VENTENY and Aino Indonesia, takes place today, Friday, April 29, 2022. With buses accommodating hundreds of employees, the departure point is set around the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area. Registration for the program opened on April 18, 2022, targeting all VENTENY users, including individual users, partners, and exclusive members. The public can also join this mudik program by registering on the VENTENY app available on Android and iOS, signing up, and choosing their departure location.
