Customer Service Week 2022

We’re Back!

For anyone new here, Customer Service Week is Cushing’s weeklong celebration of our teammates. We pick a theme, play games, dress up, and hand out awards for a job well done. Post-pandemic we were finally able to gather safely as a team and get back to the fun! Our 2022 theme was:

The Name Game!

Last Bob Standing

The first day of Customer Service Week was Bob Day! We asked that everyone come dressed as a Bob (Bob Ross, Bob for Apples, Sish ke-bob to name a few). We then asked for YOUR help on social media to vote on our best Bob.

Below were some of our Best Bobs…

Joining us were a couple of billboards, a very creative Billy Crystal, William Shakespeare, Billy Ray Cyrus and more!

2022 Mike Duff Award

The late Mike Duff was a Cushing leader who was always anticipating the next customer need. Not only passionate about new technology, he was creative about developing new uses for equipment already on the shop floor – and extremely enthusiastic about customer service. (He was also a lover of bonsai trees!)

THIS YEAR’S WINNER OF THE MIKE DUFF AWARD IS Roberto Bernal!

2022 Carl Hansen Award

The consummate professional, Carl Hansen was known for being a most thoughtful co-worker, great listener, and calm advisor to his peers regardless of their position in the company. He was also an avid painter, so the winner of this award is given a Carl Hansen original!
