Communication & Awareness

Simmons has taken an aggressive approach to prevent the spread of the virus.

Raising awareness on the importance of:

• Frequent hand washing

• Staying home when sick

• Recognizing symptoms

• Physical distancing

• Wearing masks

• Avoiding carpooling

Team members receive communications through a variety of channels, including the mySimmons Mobile App, which puts information right in the palm of their hand.

Care Clinics & Testing

The network of Simmons’ Care Clinics is an invaluable resource to aid in Simmons’ efforts to keep team members healthy and safe during this pandemic.

Access to medical care, health screenings, and testing for team members and their covered family members are available at the Care Clinics at no out-of-pocket cost.

The clinics also provide rapid testing for COVID-19 and our teams work closely with local health officials.

Masks & Barriers

All team members are required to wear masks when six feet of physical distance is not possible. Masks, and in some cases face shields, are provided for team members in addition to other standard PPE.

Protective barriers are in place between workstations and in break rooms where physical distancing is more difficult.     

Take-Home Safety Kits

Encouraging team members to follow safe practices outside of work is important.

Simmons has provided over 80,000 masks to team members to take home, along with hand gel bottles which can be refilled at work, and a list of safety reminders.

Team members are encouraged to share with family members and use the supplies while in the community.
