 CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK 2024

Customer Service Week is Cushing’s annual celebration of our coworkers! This is sort of like a spirit week where we dress up, play games, and get together for our annual company party.

2024's Theme: Movie Marathon! 🎬

DAY 1

DRESS FOR IMPACT: ACTION FILMS

The first day of Customer Service Week 2024 was Action movies! We asked that everyone come dressed to represent a character or feature of their favorite action movie. We also played a few rounds of Name That Tune throughout the day.

DAY 2: JUMP SCARE!

DAY 2 WAS ALL ABOUT HORROR

Cushing employees gather together in the office kitchen wearing costumes reminiscent of horror films.
DAY 3: PONY UP

WEDNESDAY WE HIT THE STAGECOACH AND HEADED FOR WESTERNS!

Dressed up like cattle and ranchers, the day included a good ol' fashioned Cowboy cook-off.

From classic cartoons to modern animation icons, Thursday was a colorful celebration of our favorite animated characters.

2024 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 Meagan Arizpe!

2023 Mike Duff Award
2024 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.
