Populist Cleaning Co Open Enrollment is happening now through November 30th, 2023
For the 2024 benefit year, we will be continuing with the same plans as the previous year, though there have been some changes in plan amounts. All employees will also have the option to elect supplemental benefits: accident, critical illness, short term disability, term life insurance, and our new offering this year Legal and ID Shield through the Employee Navigator portal. Full-time employees will also have the opportunity to enroll or waive health, dental, and vision insurance.
It’s important to note that this insurance coverage will become effective on January 1st, 2024, with deductions starting on December 8th, 2023. If you are currently enrolled in medical, dental, or vision insurance, you will automatically remain in your existing plan, but you will be charged the new rate unless you make changes during the open enrollment period.

Traction Tidbit
It’s easy to take these things for granted. Don’t hesitate to contact the office if you have questions or concerns. Let’s be safe out there!
Don’t Suffer a Slip or Fall this Winter!
As temperatures drop, the number of slips and falls rise. Winter’s wet and icy conditions are dangerous and you’ll probably find yourself having to walk on slippery surfaces. Here are a few suggestions to help keep you slip-and-fall free:
Don’t get caught by surprise. Monitor the weather and changing conditions
Hazards to watch for outside:
- snow-covered ice
- black ice
- uneven surfaces
- unsalted sidewalks/parking lots
- freeze and thaw cycles
- insufficient lighting
Hazards to watch for inside:
- slippery floors due to water, slush, ice, or snow tracked in by footwear
- insufficient lighting
To Avoid Slips:
- Concentrate on the path ahead – take your time and proceed slowly.
- Wear appropriate footwear – wear shoes or boots with rough soles.
- Use handrails wherever they are provided.
- Beware of changes in walking surfaces – many falls are caused when someone doesn’t realize they are leaving a secure area for a slippery one.
If you do slip:
- Try to roll with the fall – if you fall forward
- Sit down if you begin to fall backward
- When a falling person relaxes, an injury is less severe
Hi there! Please watch the video, then read the article below to get the details on the E.O.S. Traction Component at Populist.
The E.O.S Traction Component
Transforming Vision into Reality: The Power of Traction
We’ve already laid the framework for our great Vision, how we surround ourselves with great People, how to actually solve Issues, create great Processes, and getting a handle on the pulse of the company through our Data.
As we continue through our journey of the EOS framework, we arrive at the final component: Traction. Traction is the driving force that propels our vision from mere words into tangible results. It’s about instilling discipline, cultivating accountability, and becoming execution masters.
This excerpt from a LinkedIn article accurately summarizes it: Traction is all about taking what we have learned so far and putting it into practice. It’s where the talking stops, and the doing begins. It’s about seeing our vision come to life at ground level, where everyone plays their part.
To achieve this level of traction, we employ powerful tools like quarterly rocks assigned to all L10 participants and our meeting pulse, which keeps our focus on metrics, issues, and to-dos.
As we grow and transform lives through our quality partnering, it’s a source of immense pride to be part of a company that actively seeks to improve the lives of its employees. Our strategic growth and unwavering commitment to excellence are testaments to our dedication to traction.
So, the next time you feel that Populist is experiencing traction, let it serve as a reminder that you are not just a part of any company; you are a part of something extraordinary.
