Thank you for your reply.
Our world changed dramatically in early 2020. As always the safety, health, and professional development of our employees is paramount. Here’s a quick list of some, but certainly not all, of what Frazer has done to ensure the we are Safe by Choice, Not by Chance:
- Paid 100% of employee time for ALL Covid related absences for employees through September of 2021 over and beyond what the government paid
- Paid over $60,000 to mitigate Covid at our facility including: professional disinfecting between A & B shifts; motion sensor activated UV lights installed at all computer kiosks for constant cleaning of shared surfaces; touchless methods to open and close doors, barriers installed in break room, restroom areas, and other high traffic areas; daily onsite screenings by HSE (Health, Safety, and Environmental) Team. The net result of these and many other measures is that Frazer has not had a single known case of internal spread of Covid
- Developed a 21 page Pandemic Preparedness and Response Plan that we continue to update as new information emerges for this and future pandemics
- Communicated weekly (and still do) with all employees with the latest local and national information on the pandemic and what we and our employees can best do to stay safe
- Implemented a Learning Management System to house and track safety training, weekly toolbox meetings, company update meetings, etc. with all employees completing the needed courses
- Have a robust internal program of submitting and following up on hazard recognitions including employees who work remotely which can help drive weekly toolbox/training topics
For BOTH 2020 and 2021 our employees voted us one of the Houston Chronicle’s Top Midsize Workplaces. One employee told me he felt safer at work than out in public and that we were like the NBA bubble. I laughed and said we aren’t nearly as fancy but I’m certainly glad he sees the importance of everyone going home the same way they showed up to work.
Regarding pay we subscribe annually to Salary.com. We input our company size, industry, and region and ensure our pay falls within the standard range and often sit at the upper limits of it. We offer competitive benefits including employee medical, dental, vision, and disability, 401k match, PTO accrual from day one, annual performance reviews, and more. Many job positions are filled internally by those wanting to cross train and take on greater responsibility. For those with a great work ethic and critical thinking skills, they have a long career at Frazer. In return I ask that we treat each other with dignity and respect. Finally, if you steal our things or our time you will no longer be an employee at Frazer. Period. It all seems rather fair to me and to our nearly 200 Frazer Family members. Good luck on your future endeavors.
