Dansko Update 10/22/2020

 

Stay safe and focused on COVID-19 precautions

 

The COVID-19 Pandemic has now impacted our area for over seven months. All of us are likely feeling some level of “pandemic fatigue”. We wanted to take a moment to thank you all for taking extra precautions while on campus and in your private lives. We also want to remind you to stay focused on those precautions. The best way to protect yourself and your family at this time is by continuing to follow these basic guidelines:

 

• Wear a medical or cloth mask in public settings and when around people outside of your household
• Wash your hands frequently
• Maintain social distancing (at least 6 ft.)
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces
• Monitor your health and those in your household

     

If you’re not feeling well, stay home and contact your primary care physician.

 

Thank you for your continued vigilance and tenacity.

 

Election Day 11/3/2020

 

Dansko encourages employees to vote in both primary and general elections.  Dansko work schedules allow employees sufficient time to vote either before or after regularly assigned work hours. However, when this is not possible due to work schedules, please work with your manager to arrange a reasonable period of time to vote. Impacted employees should make their department manager aware of the conflict at least 48 hours before Election Day.

 

As always, if you are unexpectedly running late- please communicate with your manager and keep them aware of your situation.

  

Dansko Benefit Open Enrollment

 

First and foremost, we wanted to thank the almost 70 full-time employees who have already completed their Open Enrollment Benefit Selections.

 

For those who have not completed their selections, please remember there are just eight days to make your December 20 – November 21 benefits choices.

 

All employees will need to make their benefit selections by Friday, October 30, at 3:00 pm. Employees will make benefit selections using the EASE online system that was used for enrollment last year. If you are not taking Dansko benefits, you will need to log on and waive them.  If you have any questions, please reach out to a member of Your Friendly Neighborhood HR team.
