Melco earmarks close to MOP 16 million towards immunity incentive program for colleagues
May 21 2021 - 5:37AM
Melco Resorts & Entertainment is earmarking close to MOP 16
million towards a special “Get the Jab” immunity incentive program
to encourage colleagues suitable for the COVID-19 vaccine to become
fully vaccinated. Amongst the program, and subject to applicable
terms and conditions, each fully vaccinated colleague will receive
MOP1,000, and once the Company reaches certain immunity targets, up
to six colleagues may win MOP1 million each. With immunity now
established as a key Company objective, Melco is supporting the
government’s efforts towards this. In coordination with the Macau
Health Bureau and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,
the Company has provided colleagues with education seminars. In
addition, the Company continues to arrange shuttle transportation
for colleagues to attend vaccination appointments and grants two
full days of paid vaccine leave. The Company’s goal is to ensure a
safe environment for colleagues, guests and the community.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman & CEO of
Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “The health and
safety of Melco colleagues, guests and community is a top priority.
Our properties follow the best-in-class safety procedures, as
demonstrated by their being among the first in the world to achieve
the Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide
certification. Through the efforts of the government, we are
fortunate that vaccines are readily available. Our commitment to
creating a safe environment and contributing to the government’s
goal of achieving herd immunity is demonstrated by our resources
dedicated to the immunity incentive program.”
Recently, the Company has been honored as
recipient of WeCare™ HR Asia Most Caring Companies Award 2021. The
Company was also named Best Companies to Work for in Asia
2019-2021.
