What GVTC employees are doing to help provide a safe environment

We’re asking our employees in customer-facing roles or those that require onsite presence to take appropriate preventative measures – whether they are in our stores, call centers, our customers’ homes or businesses. This includes stocking up on hand sanitizer, protective masks and gloves as well as disinfectant spray and wipes. We’re also encouraging employees who may not feel well to avoid coming to work or interacting with customers. 

Our frontline employees, field technicians and others take your health seriously, which is why we ask them to:

  • Disinfect their workspace & hands after every customer interaction
  • Pay extra attention to sanitizing common areas
  • Wear protective gloves while in your home or business
  • Avoid shaking hands or close personal interactions
  • Take care of themselves by eating well, washing their hands frequently, and staying hydrated and well-rested
  • Immediately report if they are not feeling well
