Among these initiatives, we have chosen a diverse set of actions that reflect the care and communication with both our internal and external stakeholders.

Each of the initiatives below has been implemented, and we have received valuable feedback from the communities involved.

Mandatory home office, globally

Starting on March 16th, we established our global home office, adhering to the #stopthespread movement, a task force that focuses on containing the spread of the virus.

Besides working remotely, this movement also involves the support of healthcare professionals, vendors, and service providers, as well as advising all employees to avoid public places, social events, and other situations, as described in this article from Forbes Brazil.

Constant communication with the team

In addition to that, regular updates have been sent about with news on the current situation and tips to rockers, avoiding uncertainty feelings to increase.

Rock’s guide to remote work
Intending to provide the best experience at home, our team created a Guide to Remote Work, which includes a series of information about COVID-19 as well as best home office practices.

Initially aimed towards our internal audience, the idea of sharing this guide with the market seemed like a good opportunity and a way of contributing to this moment of adaptation that many companies and people have been facing.
