My three boys came to dua. I talk about high standards when building a company. Having them there brings that ambition closer: what would they learn simply by watching us work?

A workplace visit does not need to become a lesson about future careers. It can simply open a window onto what adults spend their days doing and how they treat one another while doing it.

When a child asks what a company does, begin with the people it is trying to help. Then show an ordinary piece of work that contributes to that purpose. A question being answered or a problem being worked through can make more sense than a complicated job title.

Leave room for their questions. What seems obvious to you may be completely new to them. You do not need to turn every question into a polished explanation.

What would a visitor learn by watching us? Would they see people keeping agreements, listening and taking care with their work? That is where a standard becomes visible.

Children do not need to choose our path. The example worth offering is that work can be taken seriously and people can be treated well. That is a useful ambition to bring back to an ordinary working day after the visit ends.
