With the outbreak of the highly transmissible Omicron variant in Shanghai, the city has been strictly locked down since this early April. Work-life under pandemic controls becomes normalized for residents here as well as our Shanghai team members. At Organon, the Founder’s well-being is always our top priority. To fulfill the commitment, our Incident Management Team (IMT) in Shanghai, has been monitoring employees’ health situations every day. We have been cooperating with Organon China Union to deliver groceries to Founders to help them get through the tough times. Our people also contribute to supporting peers and communities at their best.

Here we share some Founders’ anti-covid stories in their own words.

When our Founders encountered groceries shortages in late March, Organon China Union and IMT jointly continued to deliver several rounds of the caring plan. The groceries were delivered to not only Shanghai Founders but also every employee who was affected by the covid controls in China. We value equity and care for everyone in Organon. Although the logistics stuck to some extent, we managed to deliver the groceries to Founders in need.

On April 17th, Organon China Union operated another food supplies delivery plan to Shanghai Founders. Working with multiple departments to overcome the challenges, we successfully did 325 deliveries in just one day.

“I’m very proud to see our people are happy to receive the supplies and sharing photos on their social network. All efforts are worth it. ” Regina said.

I applied to be a volunteer to support my community during the lockdowns in my spare time. People call us “Dabai”, which means white-overalled guards. Sometimes I am in charge of distributing supplies and medicine, while sometimes helping with the covid testing. As a Shanghai local, I’m able to communicate in Shanghainese with people who cannot speak mandarin so well, especially some elders.

There are many Organon Founders who have been dedicated to helping others and living our culture and value every day during the lockdowns.
