PANTHER LABS IN-PERSON HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY
Background
As a remote-first company, all work, information, and communication are accessible to all employees regardless of their working location. However, the team occasionally meets in person to establish stronger rapport and create a break from fully remote interactions.
When supporting meetings and working in person, our top priority is the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and contractors. At the same time, we want to adapt to changing circumstances and be as inclusive as possible when offering opportunities to work together in person. Consequently, we are implementing clear guidelines below for in-person meetings and events.
Changing Guidance
When the WHO identifies a new variant of concern that results in significant changes to travel or masking requirements, there may be changes to in-person events scheduled within the next two months.
Traveling for Work
Note that the policies below apply to all types of travel for work, including but not limited to travel to work in our SF headquarters, team onsites or offsites, conferences and other events, and team dinners or holiday parties.
When traveling to work events via airplane, train, subway, or bus, it is strongly recommended that you wear a mask throughout your transit.
