VPK Packaging, in conjunction with the Department for Health & Social Care, has announced it is offering voluntary lateral flow tests to staff at its UK production sites during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The move follows an in-house health and wellbeing survey which revealed employees felt VPK Packaging has done a ‘great job in keeping them safe at work’ during the pandemic.
Sonia Card, HR director UK & Ireland said, “The care and safety of our employees are central to our values at VPK Packaging, and we are constantly looking to do the right thing by our people. The feedback from our health and wellbeing survey has been extremely encouraging and demonstrated how, as a good employer in our local communities, we have looked after every single member of the team during what has been a very challenging year.
“Offering lateral flow tests to our staff is the next step for us in ensuring continued safety during the pandemic and an important part in supporting the whole team.”
VPK Packaging is currently recruiting for a number of roles as it builds its team to meet the demand for corrugated packaging.
“Thanks to the growing demand for our sustainable packaging we are continuing investment and expansion across our business and are looking for people to join the VPK family,” Sonia added. “Our website and social media have all the latest opportunities and we welcome people to visit and to find out more about our business and hopefully join us to be part of something special.”
