Poly\u2019s greatest resource is our people, so\u00a0an important\u00a0part of my job as CEO is making sure we are taking care of one another.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I recognize that\u00a0all\u00a0of\u00a0our daily lives have changed in so many ways over the last 18 months and each of us\u00a0has\u00a0had to adapt to our own unique challenges during this time.\u00a0As we begin to\u00a0travel for business\u00a0again\u00a0and go back into the office,\u00a0it\u00a0adds another layer of complexity to our lives.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0currently in London,\u00a0where I am visiting\u00a0for the grand opening of a new Poly\u00a0Customer\u00a0Experience Center in the Gherkin Building.\u00a0I speak for the entire\u00a0Poly\u00a0executive leadership team when I say, we are so grateful to our employees\u00a0for\u00a0all the\u00a0hard work they continue to drive across every\u00a0department.\u00a0This is why\u00a0we observed\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>company-wide\u00a0global Wellness Day<\/span><\/b> for Poly employees on Monday, October 4th. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This day\u00a0off gave\u00a0corporate\u00a0employees a chance to disconnect from work, recharge, spend time with family or friends,\u00a0and focus on their wellbeing ahead of\u00a0<\/span>World Mental Health Day<\/a><\/span> this\u00a0Sunday. Everyone needs an extra day\u00a0once in\u00a0a while\u00a0to focus on themselves and this is\u00a0a great opportunity to get that much-needed<\/span>\u00a0and deserved day off.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The typical workday has been thrown out the window and the lines around work and life are even more blurred, especially for caregivers. That\u2019s why\u00a0I\u00a0also\u00a0encourage our\u00a0United States-based\u00a0corporate employees\u00a0to take advantage of our Flex Time Off\u00a0policy,\u00a0which provides an\u00a0<\/span>unlimited number of\u00a0paid time off days.<\/span><\/b> Poly employees are encouraged to work with their\u00a0managers to schedule time off\u00a0to take care of\u00a0their\u00a0family,\u00a0drive\u00a0their children\u00a0to school, take\u00a0a family member to the doctor, or a pet to the vet.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Poly, we ride together, and our employees\u2019 health and wellbeing have always been and will continue to be our top priority. We believe in supporting our people in all aspects of their life. I truly want employees to feel like they can take the time that they need so they can bring their best and most authentic selves to work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
