Elsevier is a global information and analytics company and our culture is rooted in science and health. Because of this, Elsevier recognized the gravity of the coronavirus; and communicated the implications of a pandemic in January 2020. Our substantial employee base in China moved to work-from-home immediately, and by March all staff were encouraged to work from home. Through it all, Elsevier took an empathetic and pragmatic approach in supporting its people and its customers and rapidly harnessed technology to work from home.
At Elsevier, we understand that life can be challenging at times. So, we stepped up to help our people deal with some of the pandemic's challenges unleashed in India recently. MiTR, our EAP in India, ensures that our people and their families are provided much-needed help in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, etc. Beyond COVID-19 related issues, we provided the helpline access for emotional support because of the overwhelming circumstances some of our people and their loved ones found themselves. As much as the focus on mental health increased, the acknowledgement through the services became key to ensure access to resources, especially as resources became scarce. To help combat the wave of misinformation about the virus and support our customers, Elsevier launched the India Covid-19 Healthcare Hub, a new COVID-19 Hub specifically developed for India. The website includes short synoptic clinical overviews

How Elsevier helped me regain trust and comfort in “corporate America” - Derrick Walker I needed to find a company that welcomed cultural difference; I finally came across Elsevier.
