“GET THE JAB” INCENTIVE PROGRAM: 95% COLLEAGUES FULLY VACCINATED
A priority for Melco during the pandemic has been to support colleagues in getting vaccinated against COVID-19, both for their personal benefit and to work towards continuity of business operations for the reassurance of guests. Melco allocated over US$2 million into its ‘Get the Jab’ immunity incentive program for colleagues in Macau and Hong Kong.
In the Philippines, where access to vaccines was initially challenging, the Company went ahead and purchased vaccines for colleagues.
