Employees,   The health benefits associated with approved COVID-19 vaccinations are at this stage in the pandemic supported by medical science.  Vaccinations have helped reduce the spread of the virus.  And where breakthrough infections have occurred, there is overwhelming proof that infected individuals experience far less severe symptoms, are far less likely to require costly hospitalization or treatment and recover more quickly from what are typically mild symptoms.   Cambridge values its employees and seeks to create a work environment which is as responsive to the COVID 19 virus as possible.  To this end, we have reinstituted mask policies and are now pleased to announce incentive payments for those who have already taken the steps to become vaccinated.    Simply submit your proof of vaccination to me at acooper@cambridgeres.com and you will automatically receive a $250 incentive payment.  Please accept this incentive payment in recognition of your decision to join nearly 70% of all who are eligible to receive a vaccination.  Your vaccination status undoubtedly helped to reduce the spread of the virus.   For those who are not yet vaccinated, please be advised that Cambridge is not requiring a vaccination at this time.  However, it is increasingly common that employers are beginning to mandate vaccinations and Cambridge reserves the right to take this step forward at any point in the future.  Until then, we are implementing this reward program to recognize those already vaccinated, and to create an incentive to encourage the unvaccinated to become vaccinated.    This $250 incentive payment is available following presentation of proof of fully vaccinated status by those who are not yet vaccinated.  To be eligible, you must receive the first vaccination by August 31, 2021, and second one (for those requiring 2 vaccinations) no later than September 30, 2021.  Incentives will be paid on the payroll following submission of your vaccination record, with the final incentive being paid on the October 8, 2021 paycheck.   For those that have already submitted a vaccination card, no further action is required.  For those that are vaccinated but have not yet provided proof, please do not delay submitting your proof of vaccination.   We look forward to receiving your vaccination card, recognizing the largest number of employees possible, and experiencing a healthy and productive fall 2021 and beyond.

Good afternoon,

In continuing efforts to provide excellent customer service and in some cases required by law for federally funded projects, we would like to remind you that Cambridge does provide translation and interpretation services when needed.  Services available include document translation and interpretation services. 

Site staff is always authorized and instructed to offer and utilize translation services for purposes of interpreting to anyone showing up or contacting your property that speaks a foreign language, or that shows signs of limited English proficiency.  This includes but is not limited to: Residents, Applicants, Prospects, and applies to any phone calls, email correspondence, and in-person interactions.  Use of on demand/in-person interpretation services and/or document translation services is pre-approved at your community and does not require any supervisor approval. 

If you have someone in your office or on the phone with limited English proficiency that needs interpretation, simply call the on demand interpretation services provided and follow the instructions on the attachment in this packet.  If you need any document translation services or need to coordinate a future meeting using in-person translation services, please utilize BTB Language Solutions, the additional interpretation/translation service provided, or contact your supervisor for assistance.

Please see the following items in the attached packet:

•  BTB Language Solutions Scheduling Instructions
• CLI Instruction Card for Over the Phone Services
• Language Translation Services Flyer
• The Limited English Proficiency Plan
• Contact List for Translation Services
• Certified Languages International Instructions for new Automated Dial Out Services

We realize that not all applications are approved for move-in.  When this happens, whether denied, cancelled, or withdrawn, the applicant needs to be cleared from the system.

In order to clear an applicant from Yardi, please remember to first complete the deposit accounting function.  Example of applicants that may need deposit accounting include cancelled applications where the prospective resident previously paid a portion or a full security deposit. .   However even if there was no deposit/execution put down, a deposit accounting must be completed, there would just be no charges to add in and we don’t mail the statement out to them.

Please see the attached Yardi instructions for further information and don’t hesitate to call your regional manager or property accountant with additional questions.

Please make sure all office staff are familiar with this process.

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

The end of the pandemic is getting closer, but the crisis is far from over. Experts predict that the U.S. won’t return to any kind of normalcy until at least early fall, leaving leaders to create new ways to protect employees against burnout, anxiety, and other conditions.  According to a study by Spring Health (via SHRM), 76% of U.S. employees are currently experiencing worker burnout and 57% say worries about COVID-19 have been a contributing factor, leading to “COVID-fatigue.”

Please download the attached Mental Health America’s 2021 Toolkit by clicking the button below.  Within the Toolkit, you can find resources, email templates, and flyers to use throughout the month and beyond.  Whether its “COVID-fatigue,” generalized stress and anxiety, or one of life’s many other problems, its important to know that help is available, and many times at no cost to you.

Stay safe out there!
