We believe it is our role and responsibility during this time to prioritize two things: the health and well-being of our employees and client partners while also playing a constructive role in supporting local health officials and government leaders as they work to contain the virus.
Through that lens, we will continue to make decisions based on the latest information provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
We wanted to personally reach out to you and provide an update on the actions that WSI is taking to help prevent the spread of the virus and support the health and well-being of our employees, our client partners, and our communities.
What WSI Is Doing:
- Constant communication with client partners: WSI teams are in regular and constant communication with our clients to ensure they are following the recommended strategies for employers in the guidance outlined by the CDC to help prevent workplace exposures to COVID-19. We are also asking clients to inform us immediately of any confirmed cases of COVID-19 at their work site locations so that we can effectively communicate to our employees.
- Asking employees to stay home if sick: We are asking that all WSI employees who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness to stay home and not come to work until they are free of fever (100.4° F [37.8° C]), signs of fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines (e.g. cough suppressants). Please see guidance outlined below as to what you should do if you cannot go to work.
- Communicating cough and sneeze etiquette and providing access to hand sanitization: We are encouraging all WSI employees to follow the CDC- recommended cough and sneeze etiquette, hand hygiene, and asking clients to promote this via signage or other means in their workplace.
- Frequent environmental cleaning: WSI and its clients are frequently cleaning and sanitizing all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and doorknobs.
What Employees Can Do:
- Communication: If you are well but have a sick family member at home with COVID-19, please notify your supervisor immediately.
- If you are confirmed to have COVID-19: please notify WSI immediately. WSI will then inform fellow employees of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace but maintain confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Follow the CDC-recommended cough and sneeze etiquette and hand hygiene.
What to do if you can’t make it into work:
If you are sick or need to care for a family member at home with COVID-19, we ask that you contact both your WSI office (see contact info below), as well as your worksite supervisor.
When calling WSI, please provide:
- Your name
- Worksite location and shift
- Worksite supervisor
- Reason why you cannot come to work
- The date you anticipate returning to work
Should you have any questions about our policies or practices, please feel free to contact WSI 24/7 via phone, text, or email.
