Food for Employees – The New Benefit / Perk

[Joe Fordyce]

Food can be a good way to get the whole crew together.  If you are gathering all for a meeting, sometimes it makes it easier to corral them all.  For several years now, we use the money from our scrap to pay for lunch.  When scrap was higher, we did it every Friday.  We would either cook on our grill, or order something.  Since scrap went down, it has been shaved to once per month, but it still fills all the bellies and gets the crew together.  Having a full collision shop generates much more scrap than the average mechanical shop might, but it can still be done if you have the facilities to handle additonal dumpsters and/or scrap carts. (We keep a roll-off dumpster outside for steel, aluminum stays inside in pallet boxes)

Nice thing for teambuilding. Worth doing for sure.
