As the conflict between Israel and Hamas intensifies, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has reached out to provide updates and reassurance to the company’s employees in Israel. In an internal email obtained by 9to5 Google, Pichai expressed deep concern about the distressing attacks on civilians in Israel and the heightened conflict that has unfolded in the region.
In his message, Pichai stated, “I’m sure by now you’ve all seen the news of the terrible attacks on civilians in Israel, and the escalated conflict now underway.” Google, which operates two offices in Israel, has a substantial workforce of over 2,000 employees in the country.
Pichai underscored that the safety and well-being of Google employees were of utmost priority. He mentioned, “Our priority is making sure that every Googler in the area is accounted for and safe — beyond our employees based locally, we have identified more who were traveling there.”
To ensure the safety of its employees, Google’s Global Security and Resilience Services (GSRS) team has been actively engaged in conducting safety checks to locate and safeguard every employee affected by the conflict. Pichai acknowledged the efforts, stating, “We’ve spent today connecting with most of them, but it will take some time to reach everyone.”
Pichai’s message was sent to all Google employees on a Sunday, just hours after the initial Hamas attacks.
The escalating situation in Israel has prompted other companies with a significant presence in the region to take similar actions to protect their employees and their families. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), for instance, is closely monitoring the evolving situation and prioritizing the well-being of its employees and their families in Israel.
An unnamed executive from TCS mentioned, “We are monitoring the situation and have been in contact with HR officials there. We are actively assisting with their safety, including employees from India and their families.”
In a separate development on Monday, Adani Ports and SEZ Limited, led by Gautam Adani, who acquired Israel’s Haifa port earlier in the year, issued a statement to reassure stakeholders about the safety of their business operations amidst the recent Hamas attack and ensuing conflict.
The company confirmed that its employees were safe and accounted for, highlighting the paramount importance of employee safety during such tumultuous times.
In a world marked by conflict and uncertainty, the safety and well-being of employees have become central concerns for organizations with international operations. Google, TCS, and Adani Ports are among those taking proactive steps to protect their workforce and ensure that employees and their families remain safe amid challenging circumstances.
