Pros

Awesome people! They really have a knack for hiring great people!

Cons

Misguided and mishandling of reintegration to onsite work during the worst pandemic of our time! It is lost on many employees that leadership doesn’t seem to get this! Executives are safely tucked away in their private offices which provide a far greater measure of safety than employees sitting in cubicles. These execs have access to better health care than the rank and file do. They have the big money to get the best treatment possible should they fall ill. Employees who have proven they can effectively work remotely are now expected to return to campus where they will sit in a cubicle all day where no collaboration can take place and expose themselves to the virus unnecessarily. CEO feels we need to be on campus to collaborate in-person but this is exactly the type of behavior health experts say we should be avoiding. Edwards employs some of the smartest people in the country, yet seems to think we’re not very bright. They force policies they tell us will keep us safe but they have no way of knowing this. The evidence continues to mount regarding keeping safe through social distancing so please let us distance and work from our homes.

We appreciate your feedback. We want all our employees to know, that while we have made efforts to reintegrate employees onto campus at a capacity of 50% or fewer (to allow for physical distancing), we also continue to monitor the current COVID-19 environment and consult with trusted medical advisors, local clinicians, and authorities to update our learnings and guide our reintegration decisions. Ultimately, we want to ensure we are taking the right steps to keep our employees safe. As just a few examples, we have implemented enhanced cleaning processes, require non-contact temperature screenings for anyone coming onto campus, and require employees to practice proper hand hygiene and physical distancing. Currently, face coverings are required with the exceptions of closed offices when employees are alone, or in certain limited, designated outdoor spaces that allow for distanced meetings or dining. While we remain confident in our on-site evidence-based safety measures, as we learn more information, we will adapt our campus accordingly. In addition, we recently adapted our reintegration process further to allow for more flexibility. We encourage you to share your specific needs and challenges with your manager, so you may both discuss the best approach for your personal situation.

Small business style. Knowledge is very siloed, very relationship driven, perception is power.
