Northern Illinois Windows conducts review of CDC guidelines to protect customers and staff

After a careful review of business practices, NIW is
available for essential janitorial and maintenance services.

Northern Illinois Windows is continuing to serve the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin region with essential janitorial and maintenance services while abiding by social distancing requirements related to the coronavirus pandemic. Following a week-long review of business practices, the company is confident they can safely provide those services they’ve offered to residents and businesses of area communities since 1991.

“We’ve adjusted our work activity with employees respecting social distancing guidelines,” said Bill Thomas, the CEO and founder of Northern Illinois Windows. “We’re sending crews out on a limited basis.”

The review was Thomas’s way of ensuring that the company is doing its part to help during the emergency. By complying with all the new mandates, he’s helping to keep employees off the unemployment rolls. The review included time spent finding the components of the CARE Act that will offer the best coverages for NIW employees and their families.

“Our primary focus is to keep our customers and employees safe during this crisis,” said Thomas. “At the same time, we’re using all the tools offered by the government to keep our employees working. We’re trying to do our part.”

Thomas recognizes that the war on COVID-19 has two fronts: the war on the disease itself and the fight to limit the economic damage wrought by the pandemic. In the latter regard, the company has made a commitment to supporting other area businesses. They realize that supporting businesses also entails supporting employees at those businesses.

“When the crisis passes, we’re going to have to get the economy going again,” said Thomas. “Anything we can reasonably do to save businesses so they can recover when the time comes is to everyone’s benefit.”
