Small businesses are especially affected by the global pandemic, and Securis is no exception. While employees who are able to work from home do so, many of our staff members are considered essential and come into the office regularly – if not daily – to provide touch-free data destruction and IT recycling for our customers. Securis’ president and founder, Jeremy Farber, recognizes the need to remind his employees how much the company appreciates their hard work during these unprecedented times. He said “It feels good to do something special for the team. They’re all working hard, wearing masks, and doing a good job. It’s my mission as a leader to continually think of ways to give back and show appreciation for our employees.”

In May, staff was treated to cool treats on a warm day, and this month, the company had a taco truck come to both facilities to serve lunch. “The tacos were delicious and a welcome break from bringing my lunch from home. I think everybody felt the company’s appreciation – I know I did!” said Kevin C. “It was a great day to be outside and the tacos were really good,” said Lawrence N.
