#InThisTogether with Ooni Pizza Ovens

30 April 2020

We’re sharing another uplifting story from our accredited Living Wage employer Ooni Pizza Ovens, who show us that we’re all #InThisTogether

Annie Fowden is the Senior Office and People Manager for Ooni Pizza Ovens in Edinburgh. Annie has been telling us how they have reacted to the CV-19 crisis.

“Kindness is a core value here at Ooni. For our community we wanted to celebrate ‘Everyday heroes’ so we’re asking for nominations of people who are going above and beyond and we’ll be giving Ooni gifts as a thank you, a kind of pay it forward.”

Staff are given flexible working hours and those with children have been given the option of reducing their hours. It’s part of the company ethos of being mindful of people’s circumstances. Ooni have also given staff a £75 voucher for a local restaurant of their choice. This means local businesses are supported by right now and Ooni staff can enjoy a meal when the crisis is over. They can also join a virtual Yoga session, Zoom world tours and virtual Friday night pub quizzes.

“Our values are our DNA that we all live, work and play by. The entire company created them together and they underpin our goals, decision making, hiring and are an embedded part of Ooni life’.”
