QUEBEC CITY, April 3, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Englobe, the Canadian leader in soils, material and environmental engineering, announces that it will maintain the employment of the more than 2,400 members of its team for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis. This decision was announced today to employees across Canada, as well as in the United Kingdom and France. The 300 employees who were temporarily laid off at the start of the crisis were all recalled following the announcement of government assistance to companies.
"The strength of our business lies above all in the quality of our workforce—a passionate and dedicated workforce serving our customers. This decision will allow our employees and their families to get through the crisis with one less worry. This is news that makes me particularly happy under these circumstances," said Mike Cormier, Co-President of Englobe.
Certain Englobe operations have been included on the list of essential services by various governments. Field work is therefore continuing, notably in respect of the treatment of contaminated soils, organic waste management and engineering services. It should be noted that all protective measures have been put in place to ensure the safety and health of these employees. Englobe wishes to salute them.
"When the crisis is over, Englobe knows it will be able to count on all of its employees. The decision to keep this team intact from now until then corresponds fully with our values. We will be ready to bounce back," concluded Alain Robichaud, Co-President of Englobe.
