As some states loosen COVID-19 business restrictions, you may be wondering if Exelon travel policies have changed. Exelon follows CDC guidelines (and applicable state or local orders) for business travel. Here’s an update:

As some states take initial steps to reopen their economies, we want to share with you the latest on Exelon’s plans to bring remote-enabled employees back to company locations and any impact the changing circumstances will have on employees who already report to work locations every day.

We all can agree that the new realities of the pandemic can increase your stress levels. If you’ve been feeling more uptight than usual lately, you’re not alone!

Bridget Reidy, EVP and Chief Operations Officer, Exelon BSC, shares how the Operations teams – Information Technology, Security, Supply, Transportation and Real Estate & Facilities – are working around the clock to support you and our company. From sourcing hard-to-find PPE and setting up critical remote-work capabilities to cyber security and sanitization, the Operations teams are helping to ensure you’re safe and supported no matter where you work.

Colleagues,

Colleagues,

Throughout this pandemic, I have been encouraged and inspired by the commitment and resiliency of our employees. Thank you for all you are doing to keep yourselves and others safe and healthy. Here are some ways that we are working to support you and your families.

Thank you for everything you’re doing to support your colleagues, customers and communities as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. We wish all our colleagues who are ill a safe recovery.​

Today’s Do’s and Don’ts message starts with an important new information source designed to increase open, transparent communication around COVID-19 cases at Exelon.

Do take a look at a new page in SharePoint online providing information on COVID-19 cases at Exelon, including by operating company. This page also includes a rolling list of Exelon facilities where an employee or contractor with COVID-19 was on site in the last 14 days. This new page is accessible via Exelon network-enabled mobile devices and laptops. However, while it is included as a link on our Coronavirus Information Center, it isn’t posted there to better protect the privacy of the data. Remember we have a protocol in place to alert any employees who may have had close contact with affected individuals. We are all thinking about our affected colleagues and wishing them a quick recovery.

Old Masks are Good Masks (for Personal Use)

You may have seen recently the CDC is considering whether to recommend use of masks (surgical/N95 type) for use by the public. If you still have your circa-2009 Exelon-provided pandemic kit and one or more masks are in good condition, do feel free to use them for personal use. Good condition has been defined by CDC in this FAQ. A helpful resource to assist you with the safe donning and doffing of N95 masks has been provided by the CDC (CDC Mask Video).

Connecting Through Videoconferencing

Do use Skype for Business to organize and run Exelon virtual meetings to help us protect confidential and proprietary company information. Many of you have asked about collaboration tools used by our partners, such as Zoom, GoToMeeting, WebEx, etc. While it’s ok for you to join these sessions when hosted by external groups, don’t use these other collaboration tools to organize Exelon virtual conferences.

Don't be Fooled

Do be aware of new, very real phishing attacks. You may get an email playing on COVID-19 fears about topics such as:

Masks Available!
Make Sure Your Insurance Covers COVID-19!
Get Your Government Check Faster!

Of course, they all will include a link you need to click or an attachment to open. Don't do it. Do send them to CISS with the "Report Phishing" button.

Keep Innovating, Even in Challenging Times

Have a safety idea for working through the COVID-19 pandemic? Do submit it to a new campaign on Reinvent.

Also, do be aware that the deadline for the Innovation Expo 2020 display contest has been extended by five weeks until May 15. Your colleagues already have submitted more than 60 ideas, so now you have some extra time to get yours in. To enter, visit the Reinvent site and enter your idea on your company’s Innovation Expo Employee Ideas Campaign.

Please rest assured that Exelon is doing all we can to keep you and your families, as well as our customers and communities, healthy and well during this difficult time. We encourage you to check the Exelon Coronavirus Information Center frequently for more important information and updates.

Corporate and Information Security Services (CISS) invites you to test your knowledge and awareness with an interactive game to ensure that you are prepared to combat the recent surge of Coronavirus themed phishing attacks.

First up in today’s Dos and Don’ts message – Do focus on your wellness. These are extraordinary circumstances, and the work you are doing is critical to helping each other and our communities get through these trying times. If you’re feeling extra stressed, do check out our resources in the Exelon Coronavirus Information Center to support your mental, financial and physical wellness.
