Echo Global Logistics Response
6yI feel compelled to respond as this post is inaccurate. In all Echo's actions, the safety of our employees was always at the center of everything. Echo acted very quickly to enable work from home for employees and was a front runner in our industry and in many of the cities we have locations. We were 100% remote capable by 3/13 and communicated to all employees on that date. In fact, we not only supported working from home but have very much encouraged it and most locations are 100% remote at this point.
The quick actions by our response team and IT has had an overwhelming positive response with our employees. Echo followed CDC guidelines and in some instances took even more protective action then in the guidelines. This included asking employees who have symptoms to go home and not return without a doctors note, not allowing anyone tested back in the office until results were finalized, tracking and self quarantine employees that came in contact with a level 3 risk person or location. I couldn't be more proud of how our Echo community has come together to support each other and our customers.
