- Dear colleagues, employees of Rosseti’s Group of Companies!
On 25 March 2020, in his address to the nation, our President Vladimir Putin announced the introduction of unprecedented measures in the country to protect Russian citizens from the epidemic of a new coronavirus infection. I ask you to respond with all responsibility and understanding to what was said by the head of the state.
For Rosseti’s Group, the health of employees, their relatives and friends, has always been and remains in the first place. New formats of work have been introduced, workers are provided with various means of prevention and protection against the spread of infection.
Since last week, several tens of thousands of our specialists have already been working remotely while staying at home. This is a correct and timely measure, which allowed us to minimize the risks of infection of our employees.
I am sure that next week, which the president announced as holiday, all of you can find the right application for your time. Spend it with your family, finish the accumulated household chores, continue self-education at home.
I want to separately contact the production staff, which, as always, is at the forefront under any conditions, providing reliable and high-quality power supply to all consumers.
Your work every day brings light to homes of Russians, hospitals, housing and communal services, transport and logistics centres. Thanks to you, the country continues to live, and the infrastructure and socially significant facilities operate stably.
You are our main strength, our main asset. I understand all your possible concerns, but I guarantee that Rosseti will do everything for your protection.
Nevertheless, once again, I ask you to exclude any risks associated with optional contacts both on work and personal matters, I ask you to protect yourselves and your colleagues as much as possible, I ask you to follow all instructions of the medical staff and, of course, follow safety precautions.
From the whole team I convey to you sincere thanks for the fact that in such a difficult period you remain in the workplace and continue to conscientiously fulfill your duties.
I note that I, like all my deputies, remain in constant contact and every second involved in all processes, so we will go through this period together, as a single team.
Rosseti is a large family of wonderful, close-minded people and true professionals. There is no doubt that we will pass the test with honour and gain unique experience and wisdom.
Friends! We must not forget about our families. We simply must take care of our loved ones. I beg you to pay special attention to the older generation.
The coming weeks are the most important stage in the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection. Let us once again demonstrate to the world that power engineers are able to cope with the most difficult tasks in any conditions.
We will overcome everything. We will continue to function stably and develop dynamically. Rosseti is a force for which there are no barriers.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
