Over the course of the last several months, we have seen unprecedented demand for our services. We have been focused on ensuring the essential services we provide remain uninterrupted, allowing our customers to stay connected with family, friends, healthcare professionals and businesses. Through the incredible dedication of our call center agents and other employees across our organization, we have been able to process Relay and Captioned Telephone calls throughout the COVID-19 pandemic 24/7 and will continue to do so. We are grateful to be able to serve our many customers across the United States during these trying times.

The top priority in accomplishing our goal of uninterrupted service throughout the pandemic has and will continue to be the safety and health of our employees, and our commitment to them has never wavered. To date, in addition to following CDC guidance, we have taken several steps to mitigate COVID-19-related risk to our team, including:

• Re-engineered our call centers to provide safe physical distances between agent workstations
• Modified policies and procedures to support physical distancing and employee needs
• Increased communications on mask usage and hygiene in our call centers
• Restricted meetings to limit the opportunity for people to congregate as much as possible
• Increased virtual communications and meetings to support social distancing
• Restricted and reduced the number of people in our buildings in order to reduce any risk of transmission
• Built out our IT infrastructure to allow agents to work safely and securely from their homes
• Increased disinfecting building sweeps
• Provided hand sanitizer and disinfecting supplies for all employees
• Installed foot-openers for bathroom doors and made other changes to limit the need to touch timeclocks and other high-traffic surfaces

…And more. We are deeply proud of the commitment our call center agents bring to their work on a daily basis, and it’s our honor to do everything we can to keep them healthy and safe while performing their duties.
