AAA trasforma le vite dei pazienti guidando l’innovazione nel campo della medicina nucleare

April 23, 2020

Starting May 11, 2020, Accelerators Applications (AAA), a Novartis Company, will introduce company-wide a flexible working model that invites associates, country-by-country, to return to the office and restart on-site field activities, when possible and appropriate, based on the respective local situation and risk assessment. This is applicable to all countries and markets.

The health, wellbeing and safety of our associates remains paramount. This means each country leadership team, in accordance with local authorities, will decide when and how to loosen or tighten restrictions and voluntarily offer associates the opportunity to return.

AAA fully recognizes that some associates are eager to return to the office while others may prefer to continue to work from home. So the decision to return is for each associate to make in accordance with their manager. No one should feel forced or pressured to return. To help associates, the local leadership team will provide local guidance and support. AAA and Novartis continue to provide additional resources like coaching and learning tools – irrespective of place of work.

As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread globally, our primary concern at Advanced Accelerators Applications (AAA), a Novartis Company, remains the health and safety of our associates and patients globally, and it is important that we protect them.

With that in mind, effective Monday, March 16 2020, all AAA associates within Europe, US and Canada are requested to work from home, with the exception of those working in laboratories, manufacturing sites, in the field, or in other essential functions. This measure is valid for three weeks until April 3, 2020. We will continuously assess the situation and adapt accordingly.

Some governments around the world are providing local guidance that is stricter than this global guidance. In those cases, the local guidance takes precedence.

Given the nature of some of the work undertaken at AAA, it is not possible for everyone to work remotely. By reducing the number of associates visiting our sites, we can protect those employees who cannot work offsite.

In addition to the measures above, AAA has updated its general international travel restriction. All international business travel requires approval from an executive level manager, in alignment with local authorities.

AAA remains responsive to any developments regarding coronavirus and will take all necessary steps to protect its associates and patients as the situation evolves.

As before, we will continue to deliver our medicines to patients around the world and we do not anticipate supply chain disruption at this time.

Where required, we have enacted mitigation plans to ensure ongoing drug supply to depots for our clinical studies, and we are working closely with the authorities on dispensing to trial participants.
