SAFETY MEASURES

Mengi Yay’s protective measures meet and exceed district and province guidelines for Istanbul Turkey, and we are working diligently to enforce them. The vast majority of employees approve of the safety measures that are in place. (If) reported otherwise, we have had very few cases of COVID-19 and those who have been impacted have either returned to work or are recovering from home. Each employee is provided with unlimited number of one-off masks, custom anchor sticker mask, gloves and sanitizers. The timeline of workforce is divided in order to minimize to contact which was possible given the discipline and care of the employees.

The major credit goes to our employees who are working very hard to follow our safety protocols and keep each other accountable and have never avoided the use of mask and gloves when needed. 

Mengi Yay also provides 14-day potential COVID sick leave pay for employees as commented by the government. 

We are working every day to make the right decisions for our employees and their families, and put their health and safety first.
