Keeping our employees safe
Find out what steps we have taken to ensure the health and safety of our employees and communities.
Our top priority has been to ensure the health and safety of our employees.
We have initiated social distancing in our places of work, and we are continuing to roll out the necessary infrastructure to ensure that information and health and sanitary equipment is distributed to our employees.
We have put procedures in place to minimise social contact at our place of work – meetings and gathering are to be done digitally to avoid close interpersonal contact. We need to do this because we care. Our employees are our most important asset, and we as a collective are here to serve you.
We have also instituted wide ranging and non-negotiable travel bans both locally and internationally until further notice to ensure that we follow guidelines and rules set by the government and the World Health Organisation.
Standard Bank adopted the principles recommended by the WHO and advise staff and contractors who return from high risk destinations to adopt the fourteen-day self-isolation principle. The high-risk destination lists are reviewed daily to remain relevant.
