Employee Education

KNOWLEDGE EMPOWERS ! Employees are concerned - pandemics are a gamechanger and can be an existential threat to their well-being and their families.

Educating employees on the risks of a pandemic, the myths and the facts of COVID 19
Train employees on how to protect themselves through proper personal protection procedures - the do’s and don’ts of all safety practices
Support employees to adhere to infection control processes and help them manage mental health concerns that are caused or exacerbated by COVID 19
