Crisis management team activated
A CRISIS management response team has been activated by Digicel Fiji to ensure its customers have access to support services.
Digicel regional chief executive officer Shally Jannif said they had plans in place to manage and mitigate any risk during this period, while ensuring business continuity so that the essential services remain unaffected.
“We have taken specific actions imposing a ban on employee travel, informing and educating our staff on good hygiene and prevention measures, cancelling all planned largescale events and training sessions, instructing employees to seek medical attention if they feel unwell and to not report for work until they are cleared by a medical professional.
“We have enhanced our standards and procedures for hygiene, handwashing and sanitation and increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces in our office and retail stores.
“We are also reducing the distribution of printed materials in order to limit transmission via these surfaces,” she said.
“We are a true digital lifestyle partner and we want to support our customers and the government of Fiji as much as possible, as the country moves towards a heavier reliance on technology to keep us connected.
“We will continue playing an active social role in Fiji and encourage everyone to stay safe and follow the precautionary instructions coming from the Ministry of Health.”
She said they had also activated plans for its back office staff to work from home starting this week, a move that would be implemented for offices in Nabua, Khalsa Rd and Nadi.
