Customer Service Week | 2014

Customer Service Week is an ongoing tradition at Cushing. In anticipation of the main event, each day of the week is an opportunity to spice up the office routine with games, activities and themed celebrations. No day is the same as the last!

The week–long celebration always culminates in Employee Appreciation Night. The party is held to recognize those team members who lead by example, inspire colleagues and seek to provide optimal service to clients. Employee Appreciation Night is the time we show our team that we’re ready and willing to invest in their success. The following employees were nominated by their peers and management, for these well-deserved awards.

We Are Family

In 2014, Cushing celebrated 85 years of providing printing services in the Chicago land area and beyond. In that time, Carl Hansen and Mike Duff lead our team in facing the challenges of an ever-changing market. Even in times of uncertainty, both men managed to maintain the same values the company was built on in 1929. In doing so, Carl and Mike built a strong foundation for the company’s future success. They will not soon be forgotten. In their memory, the following awards are bestowed upon employees who uphold their legacy and lead by example.

Anniversaries

It is with great pride and heart-felt appreciation that we recognize employees who choose to dedicate their skills and talents to our company. The success of our business would not be possible without their hard work and commitment to excellence. The following employees are celebrating milestone anniversaries. Feel free to congratulate them the next time you connect!

Let the Games Begin!

Unlike in years past, Customer Service Week 2014 had a competitive edge. Employees were split up into teams to develop a team name and team flag. Teams went head to head to earn points in varying competitions, such as the Bake-Off on Wednesday, a Karaoke Sing-Off on Thursday, and a new round of Scattegories each day. Teams also earned points for participating in the day’s theme. This year, themes included: Jersey Day, High School Pride, Dress as a Coworker, Country Western BBQ, Pajama Day.
