The Gokongwei Group’s COVID Care platform provided remote medical assistance for COVID-19 concerns for all organic employees and third-party workers. In partnership with ActiveOne Health/Reliance United, the telemedicine service includes patient diagnosis, monitoring, e-prescriptions, and return to work clearance. Last year, the service addressed a total of 5,152 inquiries, aiding our people during the pandemic.
To ease employee work arrangements, we granted assumed attendance as appropriate for the welfare of our people. This amounted to Php536M salaries paid on an assumed attendance basis.
We implemented Daily Health Monitoring via the JG Health App, which is part of our safety protocol for on-site employees. Employees who were working from home also utilized the application to track their health status upon falling ill. The system flagged health concerns, ensuring that employees receive necessary medical support in a timely manner.
Aside from attendance considerations, we also granted advanced vacation leaves and advanced sick leaves to employees who have exhausted their current allocation. The paid leaves covered employees who were unable to work due to ECQ restrictions, which caused the temporary closure of operations for certain business segments.
The Company also ensured accessible RT-PCR testing for its people. The test remains as the gold standard for detecting COVID-19, as recommended by triage professionals. Under this initiative, 352 employees were assisted in 2020 with the support of our partner hospitals: Lung Center of the Philippines, The Medical City, and the T3 Consortium of AC Health facilities.
For employees who had to report on-site, we provided a Daily On-Site Allowance of Php250-500 based on their job level. We also provided a Daily Meal Allowance of Php75-100 on top of the initial allowance amount.
