Taking care of our people during COVID-19
TransUnion’s focus on people goes hand-in-hand with a strong commitment to protecting our employees and the communities around us during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Doing our part to stop the virus
From the time COVID-19 first affected our Asia offices in January, we have joined the world in working to flatten the curve. We quickly implemented safety measures across all of our offices worldwide, such as travel restrictions and enhanced cleaning. When the situation escalated, we took early action to direct our employees to work from home before it was mandated.
Supporting essential in-office workers
In the rare cases, where employees still needed to go into TransUnion offices, we enacted rigorous protective measures, including making sure they had the transportation necessary to make it safely in to work.
Helping people adjust
We did everything we could to ensure that TransUnion was a continued source of stability and support for our associates in this challenging time, including providing additional resources for mental and physical health, enhancing our back-up child-care benefit, and conducting trainings on topics like remote work and resilience.
Taking care of our communities
During this uncertain time we are monitoring the changing needs of people and our communities. Given the role of consumer credit reporting in the financial health of people and economies around the world, we are also focused on providing education and insights to people, businesses and governments to help everyone navigate this uncertain time.
Social Good is TU in action
Supporting GoodWorks@TU While the current environment requires a shift in how we engage through volunteer work, we’re proud of the previous efforts of our associates supporting our core pillars of financial inclusion, education and child protection.
Financial Inclusion
Financial literacy awareness in Hong Kong
Associates in Hong Kong provided financial literacy and credit risk seminars to the public several times throughout the year. We also provided free credit reports for families in financial crisis through our partnership with Caritas, a local relief organization. We’re proud to have received the Caring Company award from the Hong Kong Council of Social Services as recognition of our community commitment.
Education
120 students participated in #GirlsinTech in UK
Associates in the UK held the second annual #GirlsinTech program to help female students gain an understanding of the technology sector, develop workplace skills and learn about pathways to employment. After the initial event, 14 students participated in an immersive job shadowing event at our Leeds office, gaining hands-on experience with positions spanning nearly all departments, including analytics, client services, customer success, facilities, finance, the technology service desk and product development.
Child Protection
Using information to fight the trade of child pornography
As part of our commitment to Child Rescue Coalition (CRC), associates in U.S. and Canadian offices joined together to provide support to victims of child abuse. Hundreds of associates participated in volunteer events to make Blankets & Bear Hugs Kits — fleece blankets packaged with teddy bears and donated to CRC for law enforcement to provide to victims rescued in their fight against child pornography.
