How the staff at Empower are coping with the quarantine

Empower Brokerage is classified as Essential so that we can help consumers find the coverage they need in an ever-changing market and situation. As well as help our agents in any way we can with support, training on new products and new ways of selling remotely. We are practicing social distancing from the CDC, but we wanted to ask some of our co-workers (from 6-feet away) how they are coping with quarantine.

What ways are you coping with the Quarantine?

Marketing Specialist, Emily Schellin, uses this extra time at home to read books and spend some much-needed mommy-pup time together!

Life and Financial Product Specialist, Enrique Torres, said that having family time has been a really big factor in him coping with quarantine. His dogs also play a big role in being able to enjoy the little things.

Mayah Fegely reported that she was coping with quarantine by spending time with her family that is close and enjoy the time she has with the step kids.

What do you miss the most?

Emily also said that she is missing the nail salon the most and then sports as well. Her favorite sports include college football and hockey.

Enrique mentioned that he missed his hair dress champagne the most. Who can blame him, we all miss our salon, barbers and favorite hairdresser!

Mayah mentioned missing being able to go out anytime she wanted and seeing her friends and family that are not so close to her in distance. Something we all struggle with in these unprecedented times!

What is the worst part of quarantine for you?

Emily said that she really was not a fan of not being able to meet up with friends or go out into the world, unless for essential activities.

Enrique also reported that the worst part of quarantine is not being able to go out on the weekends with his family and going to their favorite restaurants.

Mayah stated that the worst part was not being able to see her friends.
