Fredley Group of Companies, which runs Macao Imperial Tea, the largest milk tea chain in the Philippines, announced its plan to vaccinate employees for free.
“This initiative by the company is not just for its employees, but to also encourage and inspire other SMEs to consider doing the same effort for their workers,” Fredley Group and Macao Imperial Tea founder and chief executive Avin Ong said.
Ong said the vaccination would not be mandatory and would follow the guidelines issued by the Department of Health and the Department of Labor and Employment.
He said that apart from giving free vaccines to employees, the company would also extend assistance to their employees’ household members by sourcing vaccines for them.
“Leave no one behind. Our employees’ safety in and out of our workplaces has always been of utmost priority” Ong said.
The vaccination program will include employees from the Fredley Group, Macao Imperial Tea, New York Fries, and Dips, Nabe Japanese Izakaya + Hot Pot, Mitasu Yakiniku, Hosaku International Buffet, Liang Crispy Roll, Café Kitsuné, and Maison Kitsuné.
