LALAMOVE provides Driver Partners with Health and Safety Kits in the hopes that it will aid their partners in carrying out their responsibilities during the pandemic
Heaptalk, Jakarta — Lalamove, a platform for on-demand delivery, is improving its services by focusing on the health, safety, and welfare of its driver-partners. The company distributed health kits to driver-partners who play critical roles in the current pandemic situation in order to protect all driver-partners.

Andi M. Rizki, City Director of Lalamove Indonesia, admitted that Lalamove is taking this step to ensure service to all of its loyal customers. “With demand for delivery services increasing significantly during the pandemic, Lalamove has taken appropriate measures to safeguard our driver-partners. We are appreciative of the ability to protect all of our driver-partners when they are tasked with providing benefits and protection for the team. This health kit will help ensure the safety of their delivery,” said Andi M. Rizki.
During the implementation of Community Restrictions (PPKM) levels 4 and 3 in Java and Bali, the use of on-demand instant delivery services increased. The growing number of positive COVID-19 cases necessitates the government enacting various restrictions to ensure that instant delivery services remain a viable alternative, not only because they are more convenient, but also because they are safer.

His job is to pick up and deliver packages based on the needs of the customers. Furthermore, according to Lalamove data, 90 percent of active driver-partners have been vaccinated, adding self-protection in maintaining health during the delivery of goods to customers.
“As a result, we believe that by providing driver-partners with health kits, we can improve their performance while also ensuring safer and healthier services for all of our loyal customers,” said Andi.

Lalamove assisted in reaching delivery needs during this pandemic by providing a variety of delivery vehicles such as motorcycles, MPVs, vans, pickups, pick-up boxes, and also ankle boxes for deliveries of almost any size. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, Lalamove’s driver-partners have served the community with dedication and professionalism by distributing medicines through Lalamove’s business partners in the medical field. To meet the needs of self-isolating individuals while adhering to health protocols.
Health kits will be distributed to Lalamove driver-partners in two phases, with each phase reaching all Lalamove driver-partners, both two-wheeled and four-wheeled. The first phase began on July 13, 2021, and will continue gradually until mid-September 2021. The second phase began on August 24, 2021, and will continue gradually until mid-September 2021.

We will continue to collaborate closely with the community and all of our driver-partners in order to provide the best service possible during this trying time.
