FSO: Cooking Up Esprit De Corps

"What a great event! I really had fun and bonded with everyone. Thank you to the owners Mitch, Steve and Jim. This is going to be hard to top off. Thank you to the staff who put this event together."

At FSG we have a big appetite for being known as the best place to work and spare no expense or effort into making work a fun, enjoyable experience.

As a case in point, consider our owner's "Circle of Excellence." Last night, our best and brightest employees came together to reward achievement, to promote honest and open relationships and communication, and to give participants a great way to eat, drink and bond as members of this distinguished fraternity.

Each employee had to prepare their own unique ingredient that became part of a three-course dinner. After the meal was prepared, we dined together as a family. Everyone had an awesome time! All evening and all this morning that’s all we heard we are so thrilled with the party’s succes.

We believe spirit elevates people and inspires them to make real and lasting improvements to their performance at work and at home. It builds esprit de corps by challenging employees to work together, have fun, communicate freely and encourage each other to achieve a common goal.

The results are evident in the smiles of participants.

As one employee reported: "It was a great time when we can all get together to cook, eat, drink and laugh. Thanks to our owners and leadership for making FSG the place to be!! I look forward to the next one! "

We''ve built a dedicated team of full-time associates by providing training, guidance and supervision to help them exceed our expectations of excellence in service to our clients. By offering our associates career opportunities and advancement, we reap the rewards of their commitment and PRIDE in doing what they do each day.

That is why company leadership is committed to continually motivating our employees, providing them the tools they need to succeed and support helping both our customers and our associates in fulfilling their dreams and ambitions.

Have a GREAT day!

Putting Fun Into Work— All For A Great Cause

FSO employees come together to celebrate National Cheese Day!

Good Morning Folks,

It is said, "The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel. And if your employees don't feel valued, neither will your customers." At FSO, we are providing great new programs and initiatives for YOU, our employees.

We had a great time celebrating National Pizza Day at HQ last week! In April we celebrated both National Beer Day and National Grilled Cheese Day! As you can see, we had quite the celebration here at FSG HQ. The café was set up with Grilled Cheese toasters and assorted CHEESE!!! We had an amazing turn out packed with directors, managers, and employees from the field. It was a blast, everyone loved it.

FSO employees "loafing" around in four easy steps: 

1) Choose slices from the Rye, Wheat or White loaves, 2) Choose a cheese 

3) Melt in the sandwich press 4) Repeat for someone less fortunate

.

Best of all, we turned this national celebration into an act of philanthropy! We packed a take-out bag and took to the street to give the leftover grilled cheese to the homeless of NYC.

I really enjoy these events where we can bring our staff together, it’s always a great time. Thank you Chelsea and People Solutions for your support in making FSG a great company. I personally enjoyed being in the café connecting with everyone. 

We invite the local field staff to come join us for these events any time. Be sure to check our Employee Relations Calendar for more of our upcoming events!

On behalf of the leadership team, to all of our employees reading this right now, I’d like to THANK YOU for what YOU do every day and the contribution YOU are making in helping FSO deliver to our promise, grow and be the Best Place to Work.

I look forward to seeing all of you soon in my travels.

“Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. 

Don't ever sell out. And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off. But never, ever, ever give up.”
