Five reasons why LBC’s vaccination program should be the gold standard for other companies

LBC is proud to accounce that it is moving closer to achieving 100% inoculation within its ranks. Thanks mainly to  their “Bakuna sa Lahat” program. This vaccine drive is meant to benefit  not only their own workforce  but as a safety measure for their thousands of customers and clients who have relied on them for fast and efficient service in the fields of express courier, cargo and money remittance service.

Here, I round up the top five reasons Why LBC’s vaccination program should be the gold standard for other companies to follow.

1. LBC’s goal to achieve complete herd immunity among their ranks is nearing fruition

LBC proudly declares that 98% of their work force has already been inoculated against COVID-19. So far, in NCR, 6,452 employees, their dependents and truckers were vaccinated through the Bakuna sa Lahat Program – while 1,798 were vaccinated through their respective local government units (LGU).  For provincial areas, spanning North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, an overwhelming 9,589 employees, dependents, and truckers were vaccinated, giving LBC a 97% rate for all regions.

2. LBC was also able to help different communities

Apart from ensuring the health and well-being of their employees, LBC also made a donation of 498 vials covering 4,980 doses of vaccines to various LGUs in NCR and other nearby provinces. 

3. LBC partnered with no less than 75 accredited hospital service providers

They have done so to carry out the step by step inoculation process- from registration, to counselling, screening of a medical physician, immunization and monitoring. The program ran seamlessly and complied with the Department of Health’s standards and step-by-step inoculation process.

4. LBC’s vaccine drive was well thought out–which is why it elicited positive response from its workforce

They employed the three-step process of Education, Encouragement and Engagement. According to Jhayner Bufi, LBC’s Chief People Officer, they engaged the company’s managers to be the spokespersons on the safety and effectivity of the vaccines–given their sphere of influence over their employees. What followed were poster statements—with LBC President Miguel Camahort and other officers as main influencers. Organic HR and Admin employees were also tasked to organize, campaign, communicate, mobilize and roll-out the vaccine campaign seamlessly. To make the sign-ups easy, an in-house registration e-link was also established. 

4. LBC continues to implement strict safety protocols in all their work spaces

This is especially true in their branches which have remained open and operational without pause. The safety and wellbeing of LBC’s employees is an utmost priority for the company, thus making them a gold standard for others.

5. Booster shots for employees and their dependents are already underway amidst the Omicron spread

According to Bufi: “The way LBC has been servicing and moving commerce around, we’d like it to be handled by safe, healthy people”.
