Customer Service Week 2017
Customer Service Week is a team-building exercise that brings together fun, festivities, and creative energy. Throughout the week Cushing celebrates with themed days, plenty of prizes and shared experiences beyond the print shop floor.
Celebrating stellar team members that act like a family!
Are you a music lover that sings along to Spotify? Or are you still rocking that old CD player or Walkman? No matter the genre or how you enjoy songs, Name That Tune kicked off Customer Service Week. Snippets of songs blasted over our company intercom (really).
Whoever guessed the tune, and submitted it first earned points for their team!
The second day of Customer Service Week was The Newlywed Game Day! Coworkers paired off and coordinated outfits…we even got some of their significant others in on the fun. We contacted them ahead of time, asking questions that would stump their spouses, and surprised our coworkers with our version of the Newlywed Game.
NAME THAT TUNE AND PRICE IS RIGHT GALLERY
Another daytime game show sensation, it played perfectly for our 2017 celebration. It also doubled as our PJ – pajama day – since contestants on this show usually dress…casually.
As Bob Barker would say: “Come on Down!”
“Everything was beautiful! They were really happy with the placeholders! Thank you and your team so much for making that happen! WE'RE SUPER HAPPY! Very happy to work with a local, Chicago vendor and the Cushing team just gets it.”
NEWLYWED GAME & MORE GALLERY
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? We do! On Wednesday our coworkers dressed to impress and looked like a million bucks! Each team was asked to select one representative to answer our million-dollar questions (with a few life lines, of course). Congratulations to Matt Hausler of Bleed or No Bleed and Justin Lirot of Wheel of Printers for scoring the most points for their teams!
They’re millionaires in our eyes.
Did you know Family Feud has been on TV over 40 years? From Richard Dawson to Steve Harvey, no doubt there are many fans of the Feud out there. So we had to include in this year’s celebration!
For this theme day, Cushing team members came to work, dressed in the same color shirt.
TEAM FLAG DESIGNS & ON DISPLAY
Cheers on a ball field? MVP! During CSW, its MVC! That stands for Most Valuable Co-Worker – same concept, different name! Ballots are distributed to staff (anonymous, of course) and team members select – names are tallied and we have a winner. Here are this year’s top 5.
Frank Jimenez – WINNER
Rachel Batman
Mariano Montes
Demetrius Calhoun
Julia Kaufman
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Instead of following trends, Mike Duff was seeking the next one. When it came to existing shop technology, Duff uncovered innovative ways to get the best use of what was in production.. The Mike Duff Award recognizes a team member with that same spirit.
Congratulations Christine Fetting!
The Extra Mile of Course! Congratulations to this year’s winners.
