noon.com, the region's homegrown digital marketplace, held a vaccination drive for its fulfillment teams in KSA and the UAE, driving trusted customer excellence with safer deliveries across the region.

 

In January 2021 noon hosted multiple vaccination drives for its frontline operators, successfully administering vaccines to over 2,000 employees and counting. Noon has continued to enable vaccinations for its fulfillment team which now has a rate of over 2,000 team members with the double dose.

 

Over 2,000 of noon’s employees within the fulfillment team in KSA have now been vaccinated across the Kingdom, meeting the Saudi government’s requirement for vaccinations within the workplace one month ahead of time. The requirement, issued by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD), calls for all public and private sector workers to be vaccinated by August 1, 2021, bringing the Kingdom one step closer to its Vision 2030 goal.

 

Noon’s dedicated frontline operators in KSA and the UAE maintain a ‘green’ health status that can be easily verified via the Tawakkalna app in KSA and the DHA app in the UAE. The apps, aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus, allow people to prove their health status when entering private sector establishments and public areas. It also offers assurance to noon customers of the health status of each frontline fulfillment worker.

 

Ahmed Gadouri, General Manager, noon, said of the vaccination drive: “Maintaining safety at the highest level, both within the team and for our sellers and customers, is a top priority at noon. Our logistics and fulfillment team are our frontline - operations heroes working day and night to safely deliver packages to our customers, playing an integral role in solidifying our services across the region. Noon was born to serve and support the people of this region, all whilst driving innovation, accelerating the local digital economy, and providing a safe and reliable shopping experience to our customers.”

 

The Saudi e-tailer recently announced expansion of its customer service operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, creating hundreds of jobs for local Saudi youth. The expansion will help improve noon’s customer experience and support the rapid growth of noon’s customer base in the Kingdom. Noon will hire, train, and empower young Saudis as part of the initiative to help boost employment, develop skill sets and drive the local economy further.

 

Noon.com, the digital marketplace, launched operations in KSA in December 2017. Since then, noon has grown to become the region’s leading digital marketplace, topping app store charts and creating the biggest sale in the Middle East - Yellow Friday Sale. -- TradeArabia News Service
