“We launched protective measures in early March without waiting to be told what we had to or didn’t have to do,” says CEO Joe singleton. “Once recommendations from the CDC became clear we were proud to have exceeded them, and the support from our employees and customers was overwhelming.”
In short order Able had controlled access to all facilities including infrared temperature checks, gloves, and masks. Daily truck disinfection procedures were immediate. Space reconfiguration to allow for distancing in work and conference areas was bolstered by rapid shift to remote work.

Angie Hall, Human Resources Manager at Able, notes that employees were extremely impressed with how quickly and efficiently a course of action was implemented. “Network upgrades, laptop purchases and centralized messaging were suddenly in place,” she said, “and the impression this made on all of the employees was huge.”
Dissemination of Information and employee support was made easier because of the unique Wellbeing program the company has in place. “Alive and Able” facilitator Gary Corbett maintains this type of scenario is exactly what it was created for. “Having the Leadership Team in place with messaging right away was crucial. Family values are treasured at this company and the ability to offer support to our employees immediately has been a source of pride for us,” he says.
