The Hercules Team During COVID-19| #HercAtWork #HercAtHome
The entire world has felt the effects of COVID-19, all in different ways than others. The Hercules Group of Companies has remained open during this time providing uninterrupted & safe customer service to Canada’s vital essential services.
Although we have remained open, business has most certainly not been as normal. We’ve been working very hard to take special measures to ensure the health and well-being of our employees, customers, and community while adhering to provincial guidelines. These measures are detailed here.
This has meant changing up the ways we do things – with some employees shifting to work from home while others on-site made changes to their work routine and procedure to allow for social distancing. Personal time at home also took a shift, just like everyone else!
These unprecedented times have been tough for many people. But the Hercules Group of Company has been holding on and trying our hardest to make the absolute best of the situation and changing routines. We’ve been sharing some of the highlights over on our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin) but thought it would be fun to compile them all together here.
Here are some of the bright moments our team has shared with us during this time – Because we all need to be reminded to reflect on and relish the good:
1. Stuck-at-Home Entertainment
At work and at home our Hercules team, like everyone else, helped to flatten the curve and had to find all sorts of creative ways to entertain themselves. Here’s what Jeff Sheehan our Branch Manager from Newfoundland and his family got up to. T-shirt making, face/beard painting, and indoor hockey capers!
2. Creative Outlets
Many of our Hercules Team transitioned to working from home, and kept their sanity by finding different outlets for their creativity! These cute wood paintings were created by Hercules SLR National Program Manager, Lisa Barkhouse.
3. Work-From-Home Buddies
Our Hercules SLR Branch Manager in BC, Deanna MacDonald, shared this funny #HercAtHome moment she had with her son, Jaxton.
4. Sending Love to Healthcare Heros
Our Branch Manager Deanna in Langely BC, decided to show some love in her front window – Showing that all of our hearts, collectively go out to every healthcare and front line worker during this difficult time.
5. Working with Fur-Babies
Our furry friends had to adjust as much us, as many of them we not used to having us around all day. These two beauties are the fur babies of our VP of Sales and Operations Rose Efford.
6. Taking on Projects
Our National Program Manager Lisa Barkhouse kept herself busy building a new road on her property – Now that’s a way to keep busy!
7. Diving into Hobbies
Many of us took this time as an opportunity to dive into hobbies or pick up a new one! Our CSR in Langely BC, Paula Terrell did some awesome planting projects!
8. Keeping Active With the Family
This has been a time to cherish family, whether remotely or in person, it’s been so important we all remain connected. This is our Sudbury Territory Sales Manager Kelly having some fun with her family and keeping the Hercules Brand strong with those awesome toques!
9. Father-Son Projects
Our Hercules MMS Machinist Gregg Kinsman and his son Gage made this awesome project with oodles of creativity!
10. Social-Distanced Team Lunches
At Hercules SLR Brampton the distance may have changed but their team spirit is stronger than ever! They found ways to adapt to the current situation without having to give up team activities. These photos show how they re-organized their team lunch so they could still enjoy some Popeyes together.
11. Remote Family Coffee Dates
Our Service Supervisor, Arthur Lewis shared this moment where he was able to have a coffee with his daughter and granddaughters before work even though they have had to social distance from each other – How sweet!
