COVID-19 measures at NOVOMATIC HQ: prevention and safety are a priority In recent weeks, NOVOMATIC has implemented a series of measures and voluntary offers for all employees at the headquarters in Gumpoldskirchen, all aimed at giving the COVID-19 virus at the site the least possible chance.
On-site COVID-19 vaccination campaign at the HQ The first COVID-19 vaccination in the context of the company vaccination campaign of NOVOMATIC AG took place on 27 May 2021 at the headquarters in Gumpoldskirchen. Under the medical supervision of the company doctor Dr Gerhard Schörg, all those willing to be vaccinated as well as their relatives were entitled to receive their primary vaccination dose in the repurposed company canteen. Three doctors as well as paramedics, qualified nurses and numerous administrative helpers ensured that the vaccination campaign ran smoothly. The whole set-up was organised under the professional direction of Dr Schörg together with the NOVOHealth team, the Group Human Resources staff and the colleagues of the Group Marketing & Communications department. In total 438 employees of NOVOMATIC AG and Greentube Internet Entertainment Solutions GmbH as well as family members of staff were vaccinated. For these relatives, the company offered the possibility to register for surplus vaccine doses – an offer that was well received. The vaccine of choice was the Moderna vaccine, due to its excellent tolerability and good immunisation protection. The second vaccination took place on 8 July in the proven organisational format and was again very popular. This time, 440 people were vaccinated at the HQ in 6.5 hours.
COVID-19 prevention measures after the holiday period After the company holidays, further offers were implemented as voluntary prevention offers to mitigate the COVID-19 virus at the Gumpoldskirchen site, and in particular to prevent holiday returnees from unintentionally introducing infections.
