Volvo Car has announced work from home as a safety measure for its employees, considering the number of Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases has risen to over 100 in the past few days across the country. As part of its overall health and safety plan to mitigate risks associated with COVID-19, the company has taken the following steps:
- All employees have been requested to work from home with immediate effect.
- Necessary IT infrastructure is in place to facilitate business continuity, with scheduled meetings managed via Microsoft Teams/ Skype.
- Access to the office remains open for any employee who prefers to work from the office, after informing the respective manager. Enhanced sanitation measures have been taken to ensure hygiene at office premises.
- All domestic and international travel was suspended as early as February, to limit the exposure of our employees to the virus.
- In Bangalore, all visits to the site office, unless business-critical, are suspended until further notice.
- Employees are encouraged to maintain social distancing and refrain from attending public events and places during their social hours.
- Guidelines to dealers include ensuring cars that visit workshops as well as dealer demo cars are properly cleaned before the next use. In addition, all demo cars to mandatorily have hand sanitizer.
The above measures are likely to be re-evaluated appropriately, as this uncertain situation develops with each day.
