Globe has built its own COVID-19 testing facility called Globe Labs to give the groups more than 13,000-strong workforce access to quick, affordable, and accurate procedures for diagnosing the disease. The DOH-approved and certified facility covers testing for Globe’s employees, their dependents, and employees of its vendor and managed services partners.
Housed in one of Globe’s properties in Mandaluyong City, the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) laboratory offers ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction and diagnostic services for COVID-19.
The Globe PCR Lab has a capacity to conduct more than 300 tests per day, and if needed, can be increased to a maximum of 800 tests per day. We are doing our best to provide them with the necessary assistance and facilities like Globe Labs for their peace of mind especially during these difficult times,” said Renato Jiao, Globe’s Chief Human Resource Officer.
This is not the first time that Globe initiated COVID-19-related measures to ensure that both its workforce and stakeholders are protected from COVID-19. Last year, the company conducted a series of COVID-19 screenings for its frontliners to help the government curb the spread of the virus.
The company also contributed to the AC Health COVID-19 facility in order to accommodate its workforce and their families who may contract the virus.
Globe aligns its actions with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly, UN SDG No. 3 on promoting good health and well-being. To know more about Globe and its various advocacies and initiatives, visit https://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/sustainability.html#gref
