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…

Bills, Bills, Bills

Second day of Customer Service Week was Bill Day!

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

Can you guess which Bill is which below?
A Number of Nicks

By Wednesday it was Nick Day, and the Nicks came out in droves!

There were St. Nicks, Nickelodeons, nickels, and Nick Cages… SO MANY Nick Cages…

Not Your Average Joes

Joe Day was an opportunity to celebrate famous Joes including our very own Joe Cushing!

 

Pat Yourselves on the Back

Customer Service Week 2022 came to a close with Pat Day!

Special appearances by St, Patrick’s Day, Safety Pat-rol, Patrick Stewart (Dr. X), and Patrick Swayze!

Customer Service Week 2022 Awards
Thursday wasn’t just Joe Day, it was also the evening of our annual company party and awards ceremony!

We celebrated anniversaries, handed out awards and had A LOT of fun. Employees are recognized for going the extra mile and working hard every day throughout the year.

MVC (MOST VALUABLE CO-WORKER 2022)

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!

THE 2022 CARL HANSEN AWARD GOES TO Sharika Conyers!
