Campaign with famous Polish temporary worker!
By now, everyone in the Netherlands has had the opportunity to be vaccinated. For the group of migrant workers living and working in the Netherlands, it is more difficult to make an appointment, partly because they usually do not have a DigiD and often do not have a good enough command of the Dutch and English languages. For this group, the GGD has made group appointments possible in cooperation with employers. We, Flexible Human Services, are grasping this opportunity with both hands, because the health of our employees is our number one priority and moreover, vaccinating is our way out of this pandemic. We want to encourage as many temporary workers as possible to get vaccinated. Besides a special page on our website with information about the corona virus in several languages and an extensive social guidance team that is currently working day in and day out on the vaccination process, we are also campaigning to persuade our temporary workers to get vaccinated. We send regular messages with information and vaccination opportunities, we post messages on Social Media and last weekend, with the permission of GGD Hollands-Midden, we recorded a video on how the vaccination process works. Adrian Nkwamu, in Poland proclaimed the 1st Vice Mister of Poland, and our temporary employee, appears in this video as an ambassador.
We have a partnership with several GGD regions and over 400 temps have been helped by us in getting vaccinations the GGD. As temporary workers are used to from us, we assist where necessary, including making this appointment and the transport there. We drive from the head of North Holland to South Holland and from the coast to Utrecht to give everyone a chance. In this way we try to keep it attractive and at the same time accessible for our temporary workers. Every weekend we are on the road with coaches and FHS vans, of course all wearing masks, to bring everyone who has an appointment to the vaccination locations of the GGD! On location, questions can be asked to a FHS contact person and a GGD interpreter is present. Whether our temporary workers get vaccinated is always their own choice! Should they want to, we make this as easy as possible for them!
We are proud of these developments and already working hard on the next group that may be vaccinated this weekend. Talent to... work together!
