The firm will provide an additional two days of paid personal leave for employees who choose to be fully vaccinated against COVID to allow time for their vaccination appointment, and to recover from any potential side effects. The leave is available to all employees and completely voluntary.
Furthermore, HopgoodGanim has committed to providing donations to two charity partners as more employees get vaccinated. The firm will support the Queensland Salvation Army’s Homelessness Diversion Program as well as support Lifeline in Western Australia in providing essential training for telephone counsellors.
“Donations will be made incrementally as the number of our employees who have received their full vaccination increases,” the firm said in a statement.
The announcement follows the news that national law firm Moray & Agnew has signed up for UNICEF’s Give the World a Shot campaign, to better support vaccination efforts globally.
Last week, the firm announced its support for the UNICEF Give the World a Shot campaign, which will see it donate the amount needed to vaccinate at least one person in an international jurisdiction in need for every employee of the firm who receives their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by 31 December 2021.
