Notes from the President

08 June 2020 khilton Notes from the President

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

As you probably know, the entire staff of Red Wing Software has been working from home since the end of March. As we often do when we have problems to solve or questions to answer, we assembled a small team to help determine what returning to the office would look like. We received many good suggestions from the group and will be implementing some criteria for people to follow while in the office, and changes to the facility itself.
While every company’s work environment will be different, it is essential to make sure people feel safe in their workspace. With our group, keeping things clean and sanitized was a unanimous goal. Most of the group also felt wearing a mask, when social distancing was hard or not possible, might be important. They also did not feel they would need to wear a mask while working at their desk. One of the overwhelming observations, but not surprising knowing our staff, was that people were very concerned about the safety of others, even more so than their own.
One of the things we will make clear to our team is that if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable working in the office, they can continue to work from home until such time that the threat subsides. That is certainly an advantage that Red Wing Software has that other businesses may not.
Whatever your business has done or will be doing as the country returns to work, it is vital to have a plan and maintain communication with everyone involved.

Behind the Scenes - April 2020

14 May 2020 roxie-thoner Behind the Scenes
• Ashley’s (Accounting Software Support Specialist) daughter, Paytin, turned 13 during the quarantine.
• Katrina’s (Customer Service Representative) daughter, Kyla, has now lost two teeth in one week! Pretty soon she won’t have any teeth after the quarantine! 😂
• Stephanie (Marketing) and her new husband, Glenn, decided to get married, despite having postponed their regular wedding date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They set up a table and chairs in their front yard, so family, friends, and drivers-by could honk or stop by and give a toast from their car. The response was overwhelming and they had a wonderful day. Friends and family drove from hours away, and even people they didn’t know stopped by with gifts. As they posted on their Facebook page, LOVE WINS!
• Video has been a crucial element to Red Wing Software, while employees work from home due to COVID-19.
• Julie’s (Implementation Consultant) son, Jackson, was appointed to their Moot Court Executive Board, which is kind of like the Supreme Court of their Moot Court competitions.
