Right from when the pandemic hit our country, the company has been taking definitive steps to keep their employees absolutely safe. Westlife provided all its employees with the best masks, gloves, and global standard sanitizers to protect them, even before COVID gained ground in India. The organization also, promptly implemented stringent processes like conducting regular temperature checks for all crew members, tracking their and their family's health history and ensuring they stand within their social distancing markings in kitchens and restaurants, among many others. During lockdown last year, the company ensured, only limited no of crew members were present inside their restaurants at a time and even introduced flexible working hours for them.
