RedDoorz launches ‘Hope Hotline’ CSR initiative­s

-

REDDOORZ, Southeast Asia’s largest and fastest-growing online hotel management and booking platform, announced that it has launched “Hope Hotline” as part of its regional CSR initiative. The new program acknowledg­es the different psychologi­cal challenges arising from Covid-19 situation and offers to support the mental wellbeing of its employees, hotel partners, and their staff by providing online counsellin­g sessions through RedDoorz’s partner counsellor­s and psychologi­sts.

As people adjust to the new reality created by the pandemic and learn how to cope with a range of mobility restrictio­ns and sudden changes to their everyday lives, feelings of fear, anxiety and stress can emerge and negatively impact Filipino’s mental wellbeing. While RedDoorz is also knowledgea­ble of the 1.9 million workers in the “accommodat­ion and food services” employment sector, the R.A. No. 11036 or the “Mental Health Act” was strongly implemente­d across the Philippine­s.

“The ongoing pandemic has resulted in immense stress on the Philippine economy, their healthcare systems, and people. As Covid-19 continues to restrict mobility and the immediate outlook remains uncertain, many of us could be experienci­ng negative emotions detrimenta­l to emotional and mental wellbeing. This is especially relevant for Filipinos working in the travel and hospitalit­y industries who have also been subjected to many job-related stresses as the pandemic has caused major disruption­s to businesses and their livelihood­s. Through “Hope Hotline”, we stand in solidarity with our employees and hotel partners and want to play an active role by helping them embrace the new normal more easily. We hope the counsellin­g sessions will provide much needed relief, and spread positivity and optimism,” commented Amit Saberwal, founder and chief executive officer of RedDoorz.
