Papershift’s COVID response was helped thanks to our ‘Digital DNA’.
At Papershift, we promote digital tools and digital communication practices for ourselves and customers alike. We constantly try to be the best examples for ourselves. This internal practice allowed us the comfort to shift to remote work for all employees within one evening.
Proudly, we are an ‘Employee first‘ organization. It’s part of Papershift core value. We take the utmost care for their well-being. Employee care was and is at the core of our COVID response. Eventually, our employees provide the best care needed to our customers.
