Dear Team,
I enjoyed seeing the flood of photos that were submitted for the “
Safer, Stronger, Together” campaign for the #DoYourPartORL employee face mask contest! Thank you to each and every employee for doing your part, setting the example by wearing a face covering and simply doing the right thing. As part of the County’s commitment to reducing the spread of COVID-19, guidelines for face coverings have been added to the personal protective equipment section of the
Safety and Health Manual.
This is an unprecedented time of change is causing a great deal of stress on each of us and can negatively impact our physical and mental health in more ways than we even realize. That is why I am encouraging you to take advantage of the County’s robust wellness program. It is important to me that you have the resources you need to help you stay safe, healthy, informed and engaged.
