Employee Appreciation Week was a great success again this year. The manager car washes, bingo and Family Feud games, ice cream truck visits and Wellness Fairs were just the tip of the iceberg – there were plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy! Each office had events tailored to its teams to encourage maximum participation. Throw in some barbecues, movies and trivia contests, and the week was just about complete. CHG employees won approximately 400 gift cards and 150 hours of Paid Time Off (PTO) throughout the week.

You can see the recap video to our excellent week by checking out our Video Vault or YouTube channel. But in the meantime, check out the arm on one of our directors at CompHealth!

From ice cream treats to dunk tanks and Family Feud games and car washes, see how we celebrated Employee Appreciation Week throughout the company.

Peter Corroon, the mayor of Salt Lake County, chose CHG’s headquarters as the site of his latest press conference. Mayor Corroon, who is also running for governor of Utah, made an announcement of his plan to preserve the quality of life within the state, and he listed CHG’s core value of Putting People First as a positive example of making quality of life a priority.

Before the press conference, Mayor Corroon toured the CHG facilities to learn more about the company and the healthcare staffing industry. He also drew the winning employees who participated in the Clear the Air challenge.

Feedback from the Corroon for Governor staff and the mayor himself was very positive:

From Corroon’s communications director, Stella Thurkill:
“Thank you so very much for providing a wonderful environment for Mayor Corroon to share his Quality of Life plan. Your staff is extremely professional, helpful and so nice. It’s no wonder you’re on Fortune Magazine’s Top List. CHG is a great company with top-notch employees! It was an all-around good day for us at the Corroon for Governor campaign. We appreciate your support. It was a pleasure to work with you and your entire staff. Please forward this e-mail to all who helped make the day a great success.”

From Corroon’s senior campaign advisor, Max Farbman:
“Great event! Thank you for hosting a truly meaningful event for Peter.”

From Peter Corroon:
“I would like to echo Stella’s comments. The setting was wonderful and your employees were very welcoming. They have a lot of energy and professionalism. Sincerely, Peter”

Thanks to all of our employees who helped make this event a success!

CHG’s marketing and IT departments showed there’s nothing like a little friendly competition to do some good in the community. The departments went head to head to see which could donate the most to the Utah Food Bank.

After all was said and done, the marketing department brought in 680 pounds but IT emerged victorious with 1,054 pounds, earning a free lunch on the marketing department.

To conclude the festivities, members from each department spent some time at the Utah Food Bank on June 17, to help build food kits for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), a federal/state and public/private effort that creates monthly food packages designed to provide protein, calcium, iron and vitamins A and C for those populations that need it. The effort required teamwork and precision—each food package had to have all the contents packed in exactly the right order and quantities (as a few participants learned during the quality check!).

Within 90 minutes, the collaborative effort yielded six pallets worth of food packages for the program!

The teams in Fort Lauderdale found a way to have fun when CHG CEO Michael Weinholtz’s visit to their office for his annual State of the Union address – they celebrated Cinco de Miko!
