At The Shippers Group, we remain committed to giving back to our communities. We implemented our Give Back Program a few years ago as a way to say thank you and show our support by participating in events and making donations to the organizations working to make our world a better place. These opportunities remind us of the importance of being a good neighbor and lending a helping hand to those in need.

Employee Appreciation Raffle at The Shippers Group
With the labor shortage crisis this year, a lot of businesses have been experiencing staffing and attendance issues. Especially during the holiday season—not to mention an ongoing pandemic—it can be hard to juggle work and kids being out of school.
That is why we chose to promote and show our appreciation to our dedicated associates who show up to work each day to service our customer.
During the month of November, The Shippers Group held a raffle for two TVs and a wide range of gift cards. Associates received one raffle ticket for each week they worked their entire scheduled week without being late or leaving early. Totaling up to four possible tickets, they also had opportunities to earn extra tickets for completing tasks like submitting improvement ideas for the site.

COVID-19 Update: Week 43
This week marks the one year anniversary of the first COVID vaccine. Approximately 59% of people have been fully vaccinated, and anyone over the age of 5 years old is able to be vaccinated. If you have not been vaccinated, please consider doing so. The vaccine does not guarantee that you will not get COVID, but if you get COVID, your chances of becoming severely ill are dramatically reduced.
With the holidays upon us, the spread of illness is on the rise as people gather indoors. Please continue to follow guidance from the CDC to keep you and your loved ones safe.

The supply chains of the products we buy require complex orchestration from end to end — that is, from raw materials suppliers all the way down to the final consumer who ultimately purchases the goods.
