Continuing Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have remained committed to making the health and wellness of our associates and customers a priority. Based upon the guidance of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and local health authorities, we maintain appropriate measures to help reduce the spread of infection to our associates and customers. While we have reopened our corporate headquarters, certain associates who are able to, continue to work from home. We continue to have associates in our retail stores, customer support and distribution centers working onsite at our facilities, as well as technicians and field support onsite at customer locations. Associate business travel remains limited to only essential business needs. Acting on Feedback As part of our listening strategy, we conduct annual engagement surveys to gauge how associates feel about how work gets done. In 2021, The ODP Corporation also conducted a culture survey for the first time to gain insight into company culture throughout all levels. By listening to associate insights and perspectives, we are able to identify and act on areas for improvement to create a more positive and inclusive work environment. For example, Grand & Toy’s Engagement Survey showed the importance of wellness to individual and organizational health and success. As a direct result, we expanded our Wellness for You program offerings to include an assortment of supportive resources related to mental and physical health, work-life balance, and financial wellbeing. Recognizing Each Other Following the success of our 2020 pilot, The ODP Corporation formally launched an enterprise-wide recognition platform for associates to recognize teams and peers across the entire organization. 70 engagement score 37.
