KEEPING EMPLOYEES SAFE DURING COVID-19 Employee health and safety remained our top priority throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. While the changing dynamics have altered the way we work, we never stopped getting the job done, and our nearly 20,000 employees at more than 400 locations across the country ensured products made it to store shelves each and every day. Following the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health departments, we continue to reassess and reevaluate our processes and procedures regularly to ensure we continue to keep our employees safe.
PREVENTING THE SPREAD At every location, alongside our existing environmental, health and safety protocols, we implemented:
Advanced screening protocols, which includes daily temperature screenings
Social distancing
Mask usage
Sanitation protocols
Robust contact tracing protocols to identify and notify employees who came in close contact with infected individuals to prevent outbreaks in our facilities and offices
