What is “Demecera”?
The name Demecera comes from Demeter, the ancient Greek goddess, and Ceres, her Roman counterpart. Demeter – or Ceres – sowed seeds that transformed society, bringing the gifts of fertility and knowledge to work the land, enabling humans to prosper and move beyond mere survival. With this spirit, Demecera works with you to sow seeds of prosperity – cultivating a great workplace and the conditions for your organization to thrive.
