Reactie van LifeNet Health
6yMany companies have been severely impacted by COVID-19 and LifeNet Health is not immune. We have responded swiftly and comprehensively to the outbreak of the virus, putting measures into place to protect our employees and our business well before other organizations. Unfortunately, much of our business is dependent on elective surgeries which have been severely reduced nation wide. Despite this reduction in business, we have maintained our 24 hour operations and thoughtfully re-engineered our schedules to protect employees from transmission of the virus across all shifts. This was not easy and required us to make some tough choices. Unfortunately, a small number of employees may have been impacted by this but we felt it was best for the company as whole. By creating segregation between shifts we have very few cases of COVID-19 transmission through our operational areas nation wide. This has allowed us to stay operational and protect the majority of our employees' jobs. Any employee who has had hours reduced as a result a schedule change is eligible for unemployment and we are happy to guide them through the claims process to minimize the financial impact.
