“The goal of the program is in the name, to Make People Better, better employees, better husbands, better wives, better fathers, and better mothers,” said Robert Kantor, CEO in a prepared statement.  “It’s just one thing we have in place to improve our company culture, build a positive workplace and create overall happiness for our employees.”
