CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) July 05, 2022
Power Breezer, a global leader in evaporative cooling solutions that increase the productivity, retention, morale and welfare of associates in the e-commerce fulfillment industry, is proud to able to support World Market’s employee first initiatives to protect those associates working in distribution centers.
Post the COVID-19 pandemic, online shopping has increased and while we click and shop for everything from produce and vitamins to pool floats and iPad covers from the comfort of home — the staff fulfilling orders at our distribution centers, farms, and manufacturing warehouses across the country, typically work in extreme temperature conditions.
Bay Area-based World Market installed the Power Breezer’s units into their Stockton CA and Windsor VA Distribution Centers - The first sites in the company to have this technology. "Our top priority is to ensure our warehouse team is motivated and has a safe working environment when heat stress is considered. One of our key investments in our workers' health and well-being is the Power Breezer Sky, which has been added to our DC’s," said Bob Tway, World Market VP Supply Chain. After just a few short weeks of having the evaporative cooling fans installed, the staff cheered every time they were turned on. Management noticed an improved work environment with increased morale and happiness of employees. With such a positive response, World Market is looking to install more Power Breezers Sky units in 2023.
Employee workplace safety is vital and top concern — In April, OSHA announced the National Emphasis Program to protect employees from heat-related workplace hazards and injuries. "We are pleased to partner and support World Market’s efforts to raise morale, care, and safety of their warehouse and ecommerce teams by installing the Power Breezer Sky’s innovative cooling solution.” Says Bryan Hoadley, Power Breezer CRO.
