Empowering front-line workers with the technology
and resources to help them do their best
Zebra
Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the edge of the enterprise with
solutions and partners that enable businesses to gain a
performance edge, has rolled
out a series of initiatives and made strategic donations to help protect the
health and safety of employees, communities and companies.
Front-line
workers are modern day heroes as they serve in hospitals, grocery stores,
delivery vehicles, post offices, warehouses, and more. Zebra remains steadfast
in its resolve to empower those on the front line with technology that spans
Zebra’s entire portfolio of solutions for the healthcare, retail,
manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and public safety industries.
To address front-line
healthcare protection needs, Zebra launched its COVID-19 Heroes microsite to
recognize the efforts of front-line workers and share information on how
Zebra’s technology can enable them at work.
In a nod to healthcare professionals,
Zebra recently rolled out a new competition for nurses and nursing students,
encouraging them to submit their ideas on how technology can help solve some of
today’s biggest healthcare challenges. Five winning submissions will be
selected based on criteria including an innovative approach and the
applicability of the solution in today’s healthcare environment. Each of the
five winners will receive INR 75, 500 scholarship which can be used for
certification, continuing education, college loans or nursing school.
Interested participants can submit applications. The deadline for submissions
is Tuesday, June 30, 2020, and the winners will be announced in August 2020.
To support the fight
against COVID-19 and put technology in the hands of front-line workers, Zebra
has also donated barcode printers and supplies to the Huoshenshan and
Shenzhen University General
Hospitals , and to the
National Institutes of Health – University of the Philippines Manila.
Apart from providing the
right technology to front-line workers, the thorough disinfection of mobile
computers, tablets, printers and scanners is essential to support infection
control in workplaces and public spaces. “Zebra’s devices are used by multiple
front-line workers across shifts so it is critical that they are cleaned and
disinfected properly to help curb the spread of the virus. Our guidelines help
to educate front-line workers on how they can effectively clean their devices
and what to clean them with. There is no one-size-fits-all approach as each
device is unique in its design and function,” added Mr. Deep Agarwal,
