Elland-based Vapour Cloud is enabling staff on paid leave to undertake NHS volunteering and support the fight against Covid-19.
CEO Tim Mercer announced that everyone will be granted up to half a day of paid time out per week to ‘do their bit’.
The move follows the launch of the Government’s appeal for 250,000 people to support the 1.5 million vulnerable residents unable to leave their homes for the next 12 weeks in a bid to shield themselves from the virus.
Mercer said: “As the UK community continues its battle against Covid-19 it’s certainly a time to ‘dig deep’ in whatever way businesses and individuals possibly can.
"From pressing ahead with pioneering engineering and tech research, to donating to food banks in the local community and simply applauding the efforts of frontline NHS workers, there are many ways for people to come together.
“Offering paid leave for colleagues who take time out to ‘do their bit’ is another little gesture – put forward by our head of cloud services and NHS volunteer Craig Holmes – to help us stick together as a nation and provide support when it’s needed.”
