The pandemic that has been unleashed in last months all over the world, striking heavily the north of Italy, has brought serious damage in terms of loss of lifes but also of economic assets.
Salvatore Robuschi was able to react promptly to this emergency ensuring the safety of all employees and giving full support to all customers in the essential supply chain.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
As early as February 24, when the first news of contamination in Italy was on the newspapers, understanding the dangerous situation, the management adopted important preventive measures, anticipating the directives that would be communicated by official authorities only after few days. Immediately masks were provided to all the employees and sanitizer dispensers were placed in the company's key sites; the employee and worker positions were moved to ensure a minimum safety distance, staggering the entrances and breaks in order to limit contact between people.
SMART WORKING AND INSURANCE COVERAGE
In a second phase, almost all employees were equipped with the necessary tools to regularly perform their work from home in smart-working mode; management also stipulated insurance coverage for all employees covering any medical expenses, recovery allowances and post-convalescence care caused by Covid19.
WARRANTY AND SUPPLY OF SPARE PARTS AND MACHINES TO CUSTOMERS
When the Italian Government later decided the closure of all "non-essential" activities, the company organised itself to guarantee the regular supply of spare parts and machines to all the companies belonging to the so-called "fundamental" activities. All this has been possible thanks to the regular presence of some employees who are in a condition to work safely according to the protocol signed with the government and social partners.
In order to maintain a high level of safety, regular sanitization of the offices and production unit was also carried out, providing a workplace that is as risk-free as possible.
GUARANTEE OF REGULAR PAYMENT TO EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS
The property has always guaranteed the regular payment of salaries by providing a considerable bonus to all those who receive the redundancy fund. Moreover the company is committed to paying suppliers and tax deadlines on time, firmly believing that we are all part of a chain that Salvatore Robuschi doesn't want to break, but rather to make it stronger in such a difficult moment.
A set of activities, projects, efforts but above all people that has made Salvatore Robuschi an example of proactive commitment in the fight against COVID-19.
