Surency is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our employees and customers. With the increasing public health concern surrounding the COVID-19 virus, we need to do our part to protect the safety and health of our employees and the general public. 

We have instituted our business continuity plan during this time to ensure that we continue to provide excellent service to you during this time. Effective Wednesday, March 18, 2020, a majority of our workforce will be working remotely. We have planned and prepared for situations that allow us to work remotely while continuing to provide the best-in-class service you’ve come to expect from Surency. 

Our teams have the tools and resources to meet our customers’ needs. We believe there will be little to no business disruption during this time. This is an unprecedented situation and we appreciate your patience.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Surency has activated a plan in accordance with our standard business continuity practices. The intent of the plan is to provide for the ongoing health and safety of our employees, constituents and the community while ensuring seamless service operations for our members and clients. 

Our plan calls for a phased approach consistent with guidelines recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control which include assessing an incident, then containing and mitigating risk. We have assembled a response team that is monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis and implementing actions based upon our plan.

Please note, all Surency services are currently operational and will remain operational to ensure business continuity.

For precautionary measures, Surency has implemented the following control measures designed to minimize the risk of impact to our operations:

  • Hygiene: Individuals who access our facilities are asked to practice heightened levels of hygiene. To facilitate, we have installed hands-free soap and hand sanitizer throughout our facilities. We are also cleaning common areas such as door handles and copiers multiple times throughout the day.
  • Entrance Restrictions: Individuals who have a fever or flu-like symptoms are not allowed into our facilities until the individual is fever free for 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medicines.
  • Travel: Business related travel has been restricted to “essential-only.”
  • Public Guidance and Requirements: Surency is adhering to the requirements and recommendations of government agencies.

We are monitoring the situation closely and we are prepared should the situation escalate further. We will continue to provide updates on this webpage (Surency.com/COVID-19).

If you have any questions about our preparedness, please don’t hesitate to contact Sarah Patterson, VP of Marketing at 316-462-3341 or spatterson@surency.com.
