We have food trucks, but we only allow two different vendors and they both have to follow our contractor rules which means going through our intake and health screening and wearing masks. We include their truck as part of our hourly disinfection and require them to use hand sanitizer with any employee contact.
I mean I'm all for preventing the spread of COVID, but you have to understand how decisions and policies can absolutely affect and kill the morale of your workforce. In this time of uncertainty and tension some of the small comforts that can be provided and available to employees should absolutely be done.
On another note, our COVID task force had a long discussion about employees cell phones. We now have employees clock in and out on an app on their cell phone and they participate in shift meetings on Microsoft Teams from their cell phones. There was a thought to not let employees bring their phones in because of distraction and abuse of it, and the sanitary side of it as well. Ultimately, we decided it was better for our employees to have a lifeline with their phone to reach their family or loved ones because anything can happen. We are trusting our employees at this point to do the right thing. Just like we are trusting our employees to do the right thing with their interactions with the food truck.
