Our response to COVID-19

Mercury responds to COVID-19 pandemic by leading from the front

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the lives of so many across the world, Mercury remains focused on communicating openly and honestly, making decisions based on science that best support our team members and key stakeholders, and using innovative strategies to grow our business.

We remain laser-focused on the following four goals:

  1. Protect the health, safety and livelihoods of our team members
  2. Mitigate or reduce the operational and financial risks to the business
  3. Continue to deliver on our commitments to customers and shareholders
  4. Continue the mission-critical work we all do every day to support the ongoing security of our nation, our brave men and women in uniform, and the communities in which we all live

In response to the pandemic, we have changed the way we communicate with customers and how we market our products. Read CEO Mark Aslett's most recent letter to customers.

Protecting the health, safety and livelihoods of our most valuable asset – our employees

At Mercury, we put the heart of our organization — our dedicated and hard-working team members — at the center of our strategy and decision making. One of our strengths is how we come together to care and support one another, and this has been especially noticeable since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. With this in mind, our leadership team has worked to make numerous resources available to support and protect Mercury team members during this time, including:

  • Creation of a $1 million Employee COVID-19 Relief Fund
  • Weekly onsite COVID-19 testing at Mercury sites
  • Temperature kiosks and online daily symptom checks for onsite team
  • 120 hours of COVID-19 Sick Leave for all team members
  • New policies and procedures that ensure the safety of our onsite team members
  • Caregiver resources (childcare and elder care), including a “Kid’s Corner”
  • Memberships to the health and wellness apps Aaptiv and Headspace
  • Dr. David Zieg, our chief medical advisor, who hosts regular webinars for all team members
  • Creation of a Mercury COVID-19 dashboard that is updated in real time for all our sites
  • Regular internal surveys to gather team member feedback and concerns
