“We are proud to once again earn this recognition from the National Safety Council, particularly in light of the ongoing pandemic and those unprecedented challenges. Excellence in our approach to safety is what has positioned Randstad as an industry leader, both locally and around the world,” said Michael Summers, Vice President, Risk Management – Health, Safety & Security, Randstad US. “In the early days of COVID-19, we forged an industry alliance that delivered the ‘Safely Back to Work’ initiatives, which provided industry-specific protocols to help businesses get people back to work safely and economies running again,” he added. ‘Safely Back to Work‘ best practices have since been adopted and broadened by the World Employment Confederation.
“Our robust risk management program is a testament to Randstad’s commitment to people,” continued Summers. “Through our Safety Smart program, customers have complimentary access to Randstad’s team of trained experts nationwide to help them navigate all things related to safety and ensuring a safe workplace for their temporary and permanent workers.”
