Really truly awful during CONVID-19 - Recensione dipendente - Product Specialist presso mpb.com

Thank you for your feedback. As you suggest, there are some staff at MPB who’s jobs cannot be done from home and this applies to staff employed at our UK warehouse and to some staff at our US warehouse in Brooklyn, NY. Government guidance in the UK & the US is recognising that this is the case across a number of industries, notably manufacturing, distribution and eCommerce which together employ millions of people. There is clear guidance that staff in such jobs can and should continue to travel to work at this time. In respect of our workforces based at our warehouses, very significant steps have been taken to reduce stress and anxiety during this difficult period, whilst ensuring that livelihoods are maintained. In addition to stringent additional daily cleaning, provision of protective gloves and hand sanitiser, and provision of daily food to ensure that our staff do not have to go out for food if they do not want to, we have also adjusted staff hours on site to ensure we have reduced to the absolute minimum required levels, and we are enforcing social distancing well above 2m guidance within our workspaces. Additionally, MPB is paying ahead of Government requirements for sick pay at full salary during this very difficult period to support all our staff, especially those in isolation, either with symptoms or without, to further reinforce our commitment to pay and jobs through the COVID-19 crisis. We will continue to monitor and respond to this evolving crisis over the coming weeks.
