IT firm introduces Covid testing
IT firm Neuways has introduced Covid-19 testing to protect its workforce as they return to the office.
The firm has enrolled on the NHS’ Covid-19 testing scheme, which sees employers able to order large quantities of lateral flow testing kits for staff to use.
Before each scheduled shift in the office, Neuways employees who sign up to the scheme take a 30-minute test, with the result recorded online.
By encouraging staff to regularly take lateral flow tests, Neuways has been able to safely increase the number of employees working together in its Chellaston office.
Managing director Martin Roberts, said: “The availability of Covid-19 lateral flow tests to businesses is the best way we can support and protect our staff as we return to the office.
“The tests are not mandatory for Neuways staff but take-up of the tests has been a real positive to see as we look to increase the amount of safe, face-to-face time our employees have with each other.”
