Dependence on technology during the pandemic

 

The work from home options put forward by many companies make sense in situations like this. At Major Group, we not only encourage work from home, but we also provide our employees with all the resources they need to be efficient and productive during this time:

  • All the office equipment has been made available to employees for their home offices.
  • A budget has been allocated for the acquisition of additional equipment, such as screen holders, portable tablets, office chairs, high-performance router to improve internet connection, and more.
  • Mandatory breaks and holidays: a healthy work-life balance is the order of the day for all our employees

 

In addition to these resources, we provide additional services to our employees such as:

  • In-person and remote babysitting service for employees with young children
  • Group fitness sessions
  • Occupational ergonomics specialists
  • Webinars and various training courses

 

All of this allows us to continue to run at full throttle even in the current times, although a few modifications have been implemented to accommodate the current situation. Here are some examples:

  • Insurance cards and warranty booklets: electronic versions only
  • Customer and employee meetings: webinars (live or pre-recorded)
  • Electronic signature procedure in effect

 

Every effort is made to continue to offer a personalized service to all our customers.

Please contact one of our team members if you have any questions. We will be happy to schedule a call or video conference.
