It’s been more than three years how unfortunate
We appreciate the feedback Adam, however, at National, quality is at the heart of all we do. We duly recognize our background checks could take longer than ideal, and usually ask prospective applicants to provide as much as information as possible. Considering Zipp's application from April 2020, we have been impacted by shortage of quality staff to asses member applications owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and hence have not had the opportunity to review it in its fullness. Recovering back from the pandemic has been speedy, but as you would expect with our generous annual leave, work from home, and flexible working policies; our staff productivity is now at an all time low and this has impacted our abilities to review this application, amongst several others.
At this stage, I cannot guarantee a timeline when we will be able to return back with an outcome. However, in best interest of all stakeholders involved, I would recommend remaining patient. Until we come back with a decision, good wishes in everything you do!
