Hindu Business Line| Covid times: Global HR majors come out with handbook of safe work practices

For the first time, the Indian operations of rival global HR majors — The Adecco Group, ManpowerGroup, Gi Group and Randstad — have come together under the Indian Alliance banner to release ‘Safely Back To Work – Best Practices Handbook.

The handbook is a compilation of health and safety protocols that will enable businesses and workers to safely return to the physical workplace when the time is right. The report covers four sectors — Manufacturing, Infrastructure, IT/ITES and Pharma, Healthcare and Life Sciences.

Marcos Segador Arrebola, Managing Director, Gi Group India, in a joint press release said that with Covid cases in country crossing 60,000 a day, the challenge is to create a safe environment that assures the security of the workforce. Leadership must act to ensure workplaces are both productive and safe.

For this reason, the alliance created with Randstad, The Adecco Group, ManpowerGroup and Gi Group is willing to minimise the devastating effects of the virus into the economy and people’s lives by creating safer workplace environments for us all, he said.
