Qatari company for labor recruitment (WIZA) has intensified its preventive efforts to ensure the safety of its customers, employees and workers from the repercussions of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic by implementing its recently launched prevention program, which includes a set of preventive measures and educational activities aimed at preventing coronavirus infection and limiting its spread.

The prevention programme targets two segments: firstly, the employee category and the company's employment, and secondly, the community segment, especially domestic work. The first segment included the application of health and safety standards, social distancing procedures at administrative headquarters, housing and periodic checks, and the implementation of training and awareness programs through various means with employees and workers in addition to adhering to relevant government decisions.

In this regard, remote work was applied in March to most of the employees, activating the attendance feature and leaving via faceprint and location identification, and the program also included procedures for internal sterilization and periodic checks. The second segment provided awareness messages to the public and customers because of the company’s belief in the social responsibility entrusted to it.
