Georgia and a second in Marion, IL brought us within a days trip of home sweet home. On the way home, we stopped at a new favorite destination, Buc-ee’s. Self-described as a chain of country stores and gas stations, this stop, not far from the Georgia border with Tennessee, was the biggest gas station we have ever seen. Fuel pumps as far as the eye can see and a “country store” with pretty much every type of food one can imagine. Toilet stalls the size of storage sheds and did I mention they have food? One final stop at Lodge Cast Iron (the factory) in South Pittsburg, Tennessee and our spending money was spent and we were looking forward to being at home. We would like to thank Crest Foods and the Meiners’ family for their generosity in making this trip happen. It was everything we hoped for and more.
What is a Crest Champion? It’s our new employee recognition program intended to acknowledge employees that perform above and beyond their normal job duties and those that identify and prevent mistakes from happening. It is replacing Quality Hero and CARE’s. It’s a combination of the two previous programs built into one. The Program is designed to be a quick reinforcement to employees, letting them know that our employees do make the difference to our success and that their efforts are appreciated. Peers can recognize each other, or Managers/Supervisors can recognize employees. We want employees to know they make the difference to our success and that their efforts are recognized.
How do I become a Crest Champion? Eligibility is based on the following criteria: • Going Above & Beyond – Anything outside of the normal job duties
• Preventing or Minimizing problems - Recognizes problems and prevents or minimizes them • Demonstrates Creativity - Exhibits creativity when problem solving or improving procedures How do I get nominated? Peer-to-peer recognition; meaning any employee can nominate another employee, as well as Managers/Supervisors showing recognition to employees. ALL employees can be nominated. Nomination forms and boxes are located at employee entrances. Simply complete the form and drop it in. The Crest Champion Committee will evaluate the nominations on a monthly basis. Each eligible Crest Champion nominee will receive $10 Crest Bucks to the Crest Store. All names will be entered into a randomizer and one name will be selected each month for $50.00.
