Covid-19 - Shoefreaks update

Update March 15th, 2020

On a daily basis, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is bringing so much stress and uncertainty to our lives. As a company, the majority of our employees are now working from home in hopes to stay healthy.

As COVID-19 spreads, Shoefreaks continues to monitor the situation and respond accordingly. As part of our proactive approach to our everyone's safety, we have instructed Shoefreaks employees to work remotely and to suspend all business-related travel for the time being
As a society, we should jointly commit to flatten the curve of the spread of COVID-19, and we encourage all business leaders to move employees to work from home if they can. That being said, many people do not have the option to work remotely, and we realize how lucky we are to work in an industry that is able to easily operate from home.

Shoefreaks is well-prepared to accommodate our remote workforce. We already have in place all of the tools we need to communicate virtually, internally as well as with partners and customers. We also have procedures in place to ensure that our customer service is continuously available, even under the most extreme circumstances. 
Our top priority is to continue giving customers excellent support and continue to ship customer packages from a sterile and sanitized environment. 

We’re confident that as a team —  as an industry and community — we will get through this time with minimal interruptions. It’s business as usual: it just looks a little different right now. Remain calm, be responsible, and stick together. Most important: stay safe and healthy.
Shoefreaks will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation around COVID-19, and to actively follow the guidance and safety recommendations of the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Best,
Team Shoefreaks
