Jollibee Foods Corp. chairman and founder Tony Tan Caktiong said Thursday the company, amid the challenging business environment due to COVID 19, allocated an emergency response fund of P1 billion to provide employees with the needed financial support to cope through the Enhanced Community Quarantine period.
The employee package covers all work teams of Jollibee Group’s offices, stores, commissaries and logistics centers, including the senior citizens and PWDs assigned to stores under the joint employment program with local government units. The same assistance will also be extended to JFC’s partner employers in the stores and other sites to provide financial support to their respective employees during this time.
“This public health crisis challenges us as a company and as a nation in ways we’ve never seen before,” said Tan Caktiong.
“In these times, we know how people are worrying about their safety and how to take care of their families. We want to help lessen their worries and we are setting up this fund to help them through this difficult time. We are moved by how different individuals and sectors are taking action to help one another and we are one with them in supporting the government as we fight COVID together. We will overcome these challenges together,” he said.
