NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact (NYSE:
G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering
digital transformation, received an Honorable Mention at the
PRWeek Purpose Awards, which recognized initiatives and
innovations that use creative ideas to further positive causes and
to acknowledge the organizations and individuals behind them.
Genpact was recognized in the Best B2B category for its role in
creating the US Rapid Action Consortium. Founded on the belief that
the private sector must be a powerful force in fighting the
pandemic, the Consortium has been focused on helping to accelerate
the reopening of the US economy since its inception, helping
businesses and organizations adopt cost-effective rapid COVID-19
testing practices to better enable employees to return to the
workplace safely through proven testing frameworks. The US Rapid
Action Consortium is offering learnings and approaches free of
charge as a public good to organizations.
PRWeek Purpose Awards celebrate agencies, brands,
public-sector organizations, non-profits, and NGOs at a time when
consumers and employees are insisting that the brands with which
they engage, and the organizations for which they work, communicate
what they believe in and stand up publicly for those values.
Staying true to its purpose, "the relentless pursuit of a world
that works better for people," Genpact is using its digital and
process expertise in solving complex business challenges for global
organizations to help US companies safely return their employees to
on-site work environments.
"As whatever is the new normal starts to emerge after 18 months
of pandemic-induced lockdown, the focus on purposeful business
assumes greater importance than at any time since we launched these
awards in 2019," said Steve
Barrett, vice president, editorial director of PRWeek
US. "The winners of PRWeek's third annual Purpose Awards are
blazing a trail for others to follow and seek to emulate."
"As the world manages through the ongoing impact of COVID-19,
the ability for businesses to act quickly and decisively on
employee wellness and workplace safety has never been more
critical," said Stacy Simpson,
chief marketing officer and global leader of corporate
responsibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion, Genpact, and
founder and co-chair, U.S. Rapid Action Consortium. "The
Consortium was born out of a need for the private sector to come
together to collectively learn, innovate, and iterate to create
proven testing frameworks and access to critical resources that
allow all employers to play a role in enabling wellness across
their workforces and communities."
Genpact, in partnership with the Creative Destruction Lab Rapid
Screening Consortium (CDL RSC), and COVID Collaborative, formed the
Consortium to create a COVID-19 rapid action testing system that
better enables US businesses to create safer workplaces.
The US Rapid Action Consortium is an expansion of the successful
CDL RSC work done in Canada, of
which Genpact is a founding member. Since their inception, the US
Rapid Action Consortium and CDL RSC have administered more than
630,000 tests across more than 900 locations. Across locations, the
rapid testing program has detected over 500 asymptomatic
individuals, preventing more than 22,000 secondary infections from
occurring.
