Because the company has a solid IT infrastructure and elaborate security plans that address all the integrated processes, documentation, and back-ups, we can be confident that the workflow will not be interrupted and that we shall continue the timely delivery of the projects to the clients.
Regular Disinfection of the Work Area
In order to minimize the possibility of contamination, all three offices are regularly disinfected. This includes:
- Disinfection of main points of contact (door handles, fingerprint scanners),
- Provision of hand sanitizers,
- Regular airing of the office rooms,
- Regular wet cleaning.
As well, the company provided a clear and informative guideline on the main precautionary measures. The guideline is published on the company intranet and is available for all employees.
Rescheduling of Business Trips
SoftTeco reschedules and postpones the international business trips of employees with an aim to minimize the possibility of contamination and prevent the employees from getting an infection.
SoftTeco is working on replacing the scheduled business trips with online meetings instead. This allows us to retain the regular work process and deliver the expected results on time.
Mandatory Self-Isolation
SoftTeco’s employees returning from overseas are required to self-isolate for 14 days before returning to the office. This is done in order to prevent the virus spread and minimize the risk of contamination.
The employees staying at home are expected to work remotely so that the work process is not interrupted.
As well, SoftTeco restrains all incoming visits to the company in order to protect the employees and retain a healthy work environment.
