Home About Us Our Purpose Products R&D Employment COVID-19 Response Alene Candles' Response to COVID-19 Protecting our Team members Protecting our Team Members Alene Candles strives to be the safest place our team members can be outside of their own homes. To achieve this, we have put stringent policies and procedures in place to keep everyone healthy. Alene Candles is closely following the guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state authorities to do its part to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Creating a Safe Work Environment All team members are required to wear face masks, have their temperatures checked when arriving to work, frequently wash their hands, fill out a weekly return to work questionnaire, and adhere to social distancing. We have installed dozens of plastic barriers and reorganized the layout on the production floor and in common areas to help facilitate social distancing. We also regularly disinfect all surface areas with special equipment on the production floor and in common areas. Team members that are able to have been encouraged to work from home. Prioritizing Team Members’ Health If any team member has been exposed to the coronavirus or tests positive for COVID-19, they will be instructed to quarantine; we also notify any team members who may have been exposed and have them quarantine through our contact tracing process. Alene adheres to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which provides paid sick leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. Our policies and procedures are strictly enforced to ensure our team members can do what they do best – make the best candles in the world. Values in Action The health and safety of our team has always been our top priority. That is why we paused candle production at the beginning of the pandemic, doing our part to slow the spread of the coronavirus. We continued to pay all our team members during this shutdown because we did not want our people worrying about finances during that difficult time. But we knew we could do more. Supporting Frontline Workers We brainstormed ways to put our manufacturing resources to use. After having discussions with several industry peers, we decided we could produce and donate face shields to healthcare, first responder and community organizations. Our supply chain team got to work identifying suppliers as we transformed our production facilities in Milford, NH, and New Albany, OH, to assemble 60,000 face shields, helping with the critical personal protective equipment shortage across the country. Nearly 40 Alene team members volunteered their time to this project, while practicing social distancing and adhering to all health and safety guidelines. We are incredibly proud of the team for working together during unprecedented circumstances.
