Charter Communications

Charter needed its field technicians on the ground to operate as normally as possible in emergencies, so it set up a program management office to focus on employee benefit policies, facilities, obtaining PPE, communications and recruiting. It responded quickly in cases of employees with COVID-19, setting up contact tracing and protocols to ensure quick testing for people showing symptoms. A COVID-19 Tracker was set up to monitor cases across the company and a daily health check in determined if employees should go to work or stay home to protect their colleagues. The company also implemented a tool to gauge employee interest in onsite vaccination events, schedule onsite vaccinations and send the company proof of vaccination.

Comcast

Comcast quickly shifted to effective and efficient work-from-home operations for 90% of its employees and worked closely with frontline workers to enhance health and safety protocols for all customer-facing employees. It also established a cross-enterprise team with NBCU to create a COVID-19 testing, case management, tracing and national support model to keep infection rates low. Health literacy was a priority among employees with regards to available vaccinations, and the company provided
additional paid time off for employees to make their vaccine appointments. It also worked to establish onsite COVID-19 clinics. Employees that needed to take care of infected or at-risk family members received an additional two weeks of PTO. A Family Care PTO program was also created to provide an additional 40 hours for those who were dealing with childcare issues or caring for a high-risk household member.
