Technology-enabled outsourcing firm Everise will provide free COVID-19 vaccines to all of its more than 3,000 employees in the Philippines.
“Everise is a people-first company. Our employee well-being is our first priority. From mental health counseling to virtual yoga, we continuously invest in new ways to ensure our people are cared for," said Everise chief people officer Sheena Ponnappan.
"We are delighted that all of our staff in the Philippines will have access to the vaccine at no cost to themselves, if they choose to take it," she added.
The company will bear the cost of the vaccines.
Workers in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry are now part of the A4 priority category for the COVID-19 immunization program.
Everise has purchased almost 6,000 doses and plans to inoculate all employees over the coming months.
Awarded HR Asia’s Best Place to Work Award two years in a row, Everise Philippines is the only BPO to have achieved this accolade.
