Protecting our employees at home and in the workplace from COVID-19
It was important to work flexibly in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. We continued to remain focused on control measures put in place in 2020, in order to keep our workforce safe and healthy. In 2021, we were able to offer vaccinations in some of our sites. Encouraging PCR testing in our hub locations was also key to ensuring these workplaces remained COVID-19 secure.
Through careful consideration of transmission rates, hospital capacities and local or national requirements, sites opened in a careful and controlled way to welcome employees back to the workplace. This took place at different times in different locations and, in some cases, workplace returns have had to transition between welcoming back all employees and limiting the number of people on-site due to COVID-19 surges.
We continue to track, report and investigate all confirmed cases of COVID-19, as well as practising control measures such as masking, distancing, temperature screening, enhanced cleaning and PCR testing. Our Human Resources teams are continuing to ensure that employees' mental wellbeing is supported throughout the pandemic and that employees are aware of the resources available to them.
