February was a busy month for The Shippers Group and President, Rob Doyle, with Town Halls taking place with our corporate team, our sites in Grand Prairie, and our site in Lancaster, TX!

Town Halls were implemented by our Leadership Team several years ago as part of our efforts in fostering an open and inclusive workplace and culture. Rob makes it a priority to visit all sites twice a year to meet with our associates in the Town Hall setting. These Town Hall Meetings are held with the purpose of gaining insight through the perspective of our associates and for initiating improvements that benefit both our associates and our customers.

What is Black History Month?

Black History Month, also known as African American History Month, is observed every February and celebrates the contributions that African Americans have made to American History. Respect and recognition of their struggle for freedom and equality deepens our understanding of our Nation’s true history.

It’s no surprise that 2021 was a year of supply chain disruptions. From labor shortages to rising COVID-19 cases, to extreme weather events, we saw many events that contributed to growing port congestions and manufacturing delays. This resulted in a lot of out-of-stock, long lead times, and inflated prices as supply could not keep up with the rising demand.

February is American Heart Month, a month dedicated to motivating Americans to adopt healthy lifestyles to prevent heart disease. As the leading cause of death in the United States, it's important to take steps to protect your heart from heart disease. That is why The Shippers Group is taking the time to educate our associates throughout the month of February on ways to maintain their heart health.

As part of our effort to educate and raise awareness about the importance of heart health, The Shippers Group associates are wearing red today—Friday, February 4, 2022—for National Wear Red Day. Celebrated every year during the first Friday of February, National Wear Red Day increases awareness of the risks that heart disease can pose, and encourages other to know their risks and take action to protect their hearts.

Congratulations to The Shippers Group associates who recently completed the Emerging Leaders Program!

In March of 2021, eight TSG associates began their journey in The Shippers' Group Leadership Academy with the set goal of becoming well-rounded servant leaders. Through the use of soft and hard skill development work, the course centered around the belief that building better leaders will lead to greater levels of success for both the individual and within the organization.
