NEW DELHI: ValueFirst, the Mobile Virtual Network Operator for data services

workingwomen today.
Chairperson of the National Commission for Women Dr Girija Vyas, unveiled the
SMS helpline (6070 help) at a conference on “BPO best practices in Employee
Security” in Gurgaon.
The helpline is being offered by ValueFirst as a public service for the
security of women employees. In case of emergency, using this helpline, any
employee can send in the SMS to the number 6070 (SMS help GNG ), which would
then be automatically forwarded to the police department of Gurgaon.
The service would be available nationwide on all operators and the user will
have to just type the three letter abbreviation of the city, a valueFirst
statement said.
"Employee security has become a serious concern for some professionals
especially women. After a few incidents that took place recently, this has
become matter of utmost importance to sectors like BPOs, where maximum employees
are women and they work during the evening and night shifts. This SMS facility
will act as a mobile security, which definitely help these employees if they are
in any trouble " said Vijay Shukla, country head, ValueFirst.
The conference brought to light new technologies being used to ensure women
employee security. A presentation on vehicle tracking system was given by the MD
of Micro Technologies and Vijay Shukla, country head, ValueFirst presented on
the use of mobile messaging services (SMS) used for ensuring employee security.
"ValueFirst also plans to launch a paid service for the employee
