All Hands/Cancun

What is it? -- Multiple team meetings, happening in the same city, at the same time + some opportunity to get together as one big group as well as with other teams as it makes sense. Then, on the last day, we have a fun social event for all, Mozilla-style!

The information on this wiki primarily applies to Full time and contractor staff. If you are a volunteer contributor or intern, please inquire to your coordinator.

Health & Safety

We recognize that some of you may have concerns about certain health issues such as the Zika virus.

We encourage you to talk to you manager and HRBP if you have concerns about traveling to Mexico.

You may visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for more information. Information from the Mexico Tourism Board (who stays very up to date on any topics related to travel to Mexico), can be found here.

From the resort

There have been no reported incidences of the Zika virus at any Palace Resorts property nor in the vicinity of the destinations our properties are located. However, the company recommends guests consider suggestions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) including covering exposed skin, using EPA-registered insect repellents and sleeping in air conditioned rooms.

As scientific investigations are ongoing to determine more details surrounding the Zika virus, Palace Resorts will continue normal operations while vigilantly monitoring for relevant and conclusive information to be released. Furthermore, Palace Resorts will maintain our strict fumigation and pest control procedures which are managed by an external professional company. The Government keeps their own prevention activities and they do it stronger on the rainy seasons.
