The Christopher Companies recognizes that the COVID-19 virus has required all of us to be more mindful as we go through our regular activities and we take the health of our employees as well as our customers very seriously. Our employees are working to ensure that they meet the latest guidance from the CDC and WHO on hygiene and cleaning. Here are just some of the steps we are taking to help minimize the risk of the virus:
- Maintaining the recommended 6ft distance between all on-site personnel – employees, contractors, customers and homeowners
- Increased enforcement of personal sanitary measures – washing hands and using sanitizer, throwing out disposable face masks and gloves, frequent cleaning, etc.
- Restricting outside visitors from the buildings that are not essentially needed
- Cleaning all “high-touch” surfaces, such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and sales office furniture every day.
- Requiring all employees to stay home from work if feeling ill and to call their doctor if exhibiting symptoms
- Displaying signs on all sales office doors requesting a refrain from direct contact and other precautionary measures
- Increasing “virtual” or online communication as opposed to in-person
If you are a homeowner, customer or just dropping by, please note that most of our sales offices and models are only open for pre-screened appointments at this time.
ALL EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR FACIAL PROTECTION WHEN NEEDED
