Britannia Industries, Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL), Parle Products and GCPL, among others, said they are keeping a tab on frontline staff. Last year’s pan-India lockdown had disrupted supplies to all companies, including in the procurement of raw material, production and access to the market. Even though the companies are in better control of production and supplies, the infection has taken its toll on sales staff and other frontline workers. “As far as salesmen are concerned, yes we are also concerned because there are pockets where despite our very high standards and protocols, people have got impacted. Our entire focus has been on how we best look after them," said Sanjiv Mehta, chairman and managing director, HUL.
