“HumanTouch, LLC, has taken strides to protect its workforce that directly supports federal government contracts. In response to the government shutdown, and as a gesture of accord, the HumanTouch executive team, senior management and directors will voluntarily take one day off each week in order to ensure that their staff remains paid and their health insurance covered. HumanTouch CEO Moe Jafari will not draw a salary until the shutdown is over.”
“Approximately 10% of our staff is currently furloughed,” said Jafari. “We are humans first, and we have a responsibility to our staff to see that they are secure during this furlough.”
“The decision to support staff is easy but it is also good business,” he said. “The government will start up again. Our federal government clients expect readiness and innovation. We will be prepared to return to our contracts at a moment’s notice. You must invest in good people, and those dividends pay for themselves.” Read the full press release here.
