Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic there has been a theme that “we’re all in this together”.
That means different things to different people but one Laois business has taken steps to actively acknowledge those at the frontline while also supporting local businesses that have had to close their doors at this time.
Nuvo Recruitment, an award-winning Laois-based recruitment agency, set up by Amie Colgan in 2010, are acknowledging a frontline worker every week by teaming up with a local business and picking a ‘Frontline Hero’ on the back of nominations received on their Facebook and Instagram pages.
Nuvo are buying €50 vouchers from various local businesses that have had to close – and many of the businesses are matching that amount. The ‘Frontline Hero’ then has a €100 voucher to look forward to when things return to normal.
“We are placing staff on the frontline daily and want to show our support to them,” explains Amie.
“We wanted to acknowledge the incredible hard work of our frontline heroes and promote local businesses affected by the current crisis.
“We’re trying to show our support and create something positive for our frontline workers by lifting community spirits and showing goodwill.
“We also think it can create a connection between the business community and frontline staff.”
In recent weeks, the businesses that Nuvo Recruitment have teamed up with have been Kelly Lou Cakes, Treasures Gift Shop, Bergin’s Jewellers, The Cosy Cafe and Hughes Pharmacy.
To nominate someone you think is deserving, you can nominate on the Nuvo Recruitment Facebook page or Instagram page.
Incidentally, Nuvo Recruitment had just moved into a new office in Parkside a couple of days before the current restrictions were imposed.
In line with the HSE, while the office is now closed, the Nuvo team are all working remotely and are happy to give advice to employers and employees.
The Nuvo Recruitment team can be contacted by calling Amie on 087 9507730 or Emma-Jane on 087 1329779.
