6yWe always appreciate when a team member shares their concerns directly with us. In this case, we have been following the direct recommendations of leading health experts and authorities - including the Centers for Disease Control and the Indiana Department of Health. Steps we have taken to help protect our employees include closing down to the public our on-site restaurant, coffee shop, public game area, health club, Academy of Music, canceling all outside events and activities, and canceling all internal large meetings. We have additionally ramped up intensive cleaning throughout our campus and have repurposed multiple employees into new roles whose jobs were impacted by some of our cancellations. In addition, we have specifically announced to all employees that they are welcome to speak with their manager or HR if they or a family member have unique health considerations and would like to discuss a work from home arrangement. So far, we have had multiple employees take us up on this offer and we have happily accommodated them. We take the health and well-being of our team members very seriously and are working hard to stay on top of this constantly evolving situation. We are grateful for the positive feedback we’ve received so far from many of our team members (and their significant others) including social media comments like "So grateful they are helping protect our staff!” and "THANK YOU!!!!! I’m so proud to be a part of this team!”. Jeff Ostermann, Chief People Officer
