Did you see this?

The Home Depot just announced a series of employee benefits updates and business operation standards in response to the COVID-19 crisis that speak volumes to the company's passion, dedication, and commitment to the well-being of their employees and customers during this very challenging moment in our nation's history.

These New Employee Benefits Merit Our Attention!

Okay, so here’s a short list of all the temporary employee benefits the Home Depot Leadership Team just made available to their hourly in-store and distribution center employees. This stuff is unprecedented folks, just take a look...

Home Depot response to COVID-19 (Employee Updates):

  • 80 hrs of PTO for FT associates

Supporting Communities is at the top of the Home Depot Agenda!

As an ‘Essential Business’ the Home Depot remains focused on customer safety, produce/service accessibility and location convenience initiatives. It’s clear the mean business! Just take a look at the most recent COVID-19 response initiatives and you’ll see what I mean.

Home Depot response to COVID-19 (Community Support Updates):

  • Voluntary froze pricing of high-demand products nationwide, (WOW!)

  • Redirected all shipments of N95 masks to be donated to hospitals, healthcare providers and first responders around the country as hospitals made the public aware shortages

  • Donated millions of dollars in personal protective equipment, (PPE) and more to hospitals, healthcare providers and first responders.

  • Prioritizing order fulfillment to hospitals, healthcare providers and first responders

  • Redirecting Merchandising and Supply Chain team resources to globally source quality product and expedite the availability of needed items

  • Limiting installations to only those that are essential for maintenance and repair

  • Trained and Advised all Delivery and Home Service associates to follow preventive actions, (hand-washing, disinfecting objects, and carrying hand sanitizer)

  • Stores and Distribution Centers are also happy to postpone and reschedule installation and other home services already scheduled during this crisis.

An online Customer Support page has also been updates to immediately address customer concerns and expedite solution strategies. Customer are welcome to instantly connect online with Home Depot Service Professionals** here**.

Right Now...Is a great time to join the fight!

Hey folks, this is a good time to get involved serving your communities and take advantage of all the outstanding employee benefits, incentives and safety/security standards the Home Depot is offering passionate, devoted and career-centric applicants.

I tried to go to THD on Friday about 30 min. before they closed. Line outside was 100 deep… hope they keep staffing up…!

Mr.

This truly is unprecedented and very honorable of them to do for their employees FT or PT-really does make you understand that even when things go back to normal it will be a new normal,(ie)the way companies protect their employees and customers, pay their employees, and run their self. #we're all in This together should be just that not low paid employees go to work everyday struggle with their personal safety and worry about catching covid-19 and taking it home to their families wow the CEOs of companies sit at home with their families and padded bank accounts all nice and safe. I truly feel sorry for the healthcare employees, low paid employees of grocery stores, hardware stores, etc ... They truly are the heroes of this whole pandemic my hat's off to them 👏👏👍🌟🥂--- & My hat is off to the home Depot as well. Maybe this will set a new standard and start a new trend I hope so for all of our sakes. Y'all stay safe and hope we can return soon to our #"NEW NORMAL"BECAUSE ONE THING'S FOR SURE THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOWADAYS ✌️🙏👀💬
