Protecting our Team Members

Alene Candles strives to be the safest place our team members can be outside of their own homes. To achieve this, we have put stringent policies and procedures in place to keep everyone healthy. Alene Candles is closely following the guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state authorities to do its part to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Creating a Safe Work Environment

All team members are required to wear face masks, have their temperatures checked when arriving to work, frequently wash their hands, fill out a weekly return to work questionnaire, and adhere to social distancing. We have installed dozens of plastic barriers and reorganized the layout on the production floor and in common areas to help facilitate social distancing. We also regularly disinfect all surface areas with special equipment on the production floor and in common areas. Team members that are able to have been encouraged to work from home. 

Values in Action

The health and safety of our team has always been our top priority. That is why we paused candle production at the beginning of the pandemic, doing our part to slow the spread of the coronavirus. We continued to pay all our team members during this shutdown because we did not want our people worrying about finances during that difficult time. But we knew we could do more.
