Danske Bank has offered employees with health care or military backgrounds that they can volunteer for health care or military service in the general combat of corona virus Covid-19.

The offer extends to employees in countries where local authorities has specifically asked the public for health care and military assistance within a given time frame. That currently covers Denmark and will apply to all other countries issuing similar requests.

“This is an extraordinary situation for all of us. The health care system is challenged, and we may lack the human resources to solve the enormous task. At Danske Bank, we want to help take on this task by offering employees with a relevant background to use their hands and knowledge in the health care, while it is under heavy pressure,” says Head of HR at Danske Bank, Karsten Breum. 

Volunteers will be compensated
The offer is currently on for a period of up to six months and will be reviewed in the light of how the situation evolves. All employees who sign up for voluntary service and are asked to service will be compensated by Danske Bank.
