On July 1 + 2 we held 2x road safety workshops for Saudi Arabian Lady Drivers with our CSR-Partner Johnson & Johnson, which was also supported by another CSR-partner of ours Mamas & Papas. Locations were Riyadh and Jeddah.
The workshops contained live video messages from senior J&J officials underlining the importance of safe conduct on KSA’s roads; interactive group work sessions; KSA statistics about the main causes of accidents and about KSA motorists behavior; J&J ‘Safe Fleet’ Videos linked to the main causes of accidents in KSA; a child car seat demonstration and presentation.
It was amazing to see the enthusiasm of Saudi Lady Drivers and the commitment from Johnson & Johnson to expose their staff to proper road behavior right from the beginning of their driving in the Kingdom! Johnson & Johnson sets a great example of the ‘Good Employer’ label of CSR!
