Laborocity’s mission is to put people to work but also making sure our workers (Doers) are safe getting to work, in their work environment, and getting home is of our utmost concern. For those who cannot shelter in place, we have compiled best practices for work and for the home. This is to keep our Doers and their families safe during this trying time. 

Masks: 

Essential personnel, such as Laborocity Doers, need masks to complete the duties of their jobs and as many are aware, there is a large shortage of masks available. However, many people are taking to their sewing machines to make homemade masks and donate them.

Here are some resources on how to make these masks to ensure they are as functional as possible. 

When wearing a face mask, make sure to avoid touching the front of the mask at all times and wash hands before and after touching the mask. Follow these tips when making, wearing, and discarding masks and be sure to follow these instructions for putting the mask on and taking the mask off. It is imperative that masks are properly applied and removed to ensure the integrity of the mask and its ability to prevent the spread of the virus. 

Shoes: 

For those feeling cooped up due to shelter in place, a nice walk outside can be a sense of relief for cabin fever and a great way to get moving. Since the World Health Organization recommends getting exercise during the Coronavirus pandemic and vitamin D is a known necessity for the immune system’s proper functioning, walking outside is a quick and easy way to satisfy both Vitamin D requirements and exercise. However, keeping a few things in mind while going on a walk can help keep your home and family safe. 

Groceries: 

COVID-19 mostly spreads between human to human contact; however, high traffic locations such as grocery stores have the potential for multiple people to touch the same item. While it is not necessary to fully sanitize your groceries, it is a good idea to gently clean your groceries before you put them away.

Here are some tips for cleaning groceries: 

  • Set up a clear “cleaning” station to avoid having groceries touch a lot of different surfaces during the process. Since the virus can live on some surfaces for up to 72 hours. It is imperative that you clean off the surface after anything from outside touches it. This includes counters, the floor, and any dishes. If you are out of Clorox or bleach, soap and water is effective to clean your surfaces. 
  • Do not sanitize your produce or wash it with soap. If soap is not fully washed off food, ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. The CDC recommends rinsing your produce in cold water and using a cleansing brush for produce with a thick exterior such as oranges, pineapple, etc. 

Continue to practice social distancing whenever possible. Try to avoid crowded locations such as grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. in favor of curbside pick-up or delivery options. Here is a list of restaurants and retailers offering curbside pick-up.

As Covid-19 Spreads, Laborocity’s Tech-enabled Hiring Platform Matches Workers with The Companies That Desperately Need Them 

 

Computer Algorithms Demonstrate the Power to Match Hourly Workers with Open Jobs Instantly 

 

Radnor, PA, March 19, 2020 – While millions of Americans are being forced to work from their homes as a result of the Coronavirus, hundreds of thousands who have been displaced are searching for work that cannot be done remotely. At the same time, the disruption has created strong demand within certain industries like grocery stores. Laborocity, the leading workforce technology platform, is seeing a surge of hires for contract and 1099 workers for hundreds of companies ranging from start-ups to enterprise. Laborocity currently has thousands of workers prepared to enter industries that include but are not limited to warehouse, e-commerce, call centers, grocery stores, logistics, and preventative cleaning.

 

Laborocity’s tech-enabled process uniquely identifies qualified candidates based on a series of requirements such as job experience, skills, geolocation, performance ratings, AI-enhanced pre-screening, and machine learning outcomes to rapidly fill open positions. 

 

CEO of Laborocity Lynn Bruder said, “There are currently 53 million workers in the Unites States that work in roles that are paid hourly and need to keep working to earn a living and provide for themselves. Laborocity can provide them the work that they need to not only survive this global pandemic but also to continue to work once we get past these trying times.” Bruder continued, “We can bridge the gap between people who are willing and able to work and the companies that provide essential services who need them.”

 

On a seamless and intuitive platform, companies and potential employees complete an initial easy step-by-step application process. From there, Laborocity’s advanced proprietary AI and Machine Learning matching algorithm efficiently matches workers with jobs by location. Laborocity manages everything through its website or mobile App including preliminary screening, tax forms, paperwork, background checks, and even payroll. Laborocity’s policy of weekly payroll for employees makes work opportunities for their partner companies competitive and more appealing to ensure retention. Each company has the capability to approve weekly hours via the Laborocity app and track doer performance, further assuring that they always have the best person for the job.
