When an offer of 150 pallets’ worth of free cleaning and personal hygiene supplies crossed its path, Good360 didn’t have the space to accept them — or the heart to turn them down when they were so needed by those impacted by disasters. Here’s all the “dirt” about how ALAN and The Shippers Group made it possible for the humanitarian organization to say yes to this hugely useful donation, and how those supplies have been helping survivors of Hurricanes Irma and Maria make a clean start since.

The Shippers Group is committed to fostering an open workplace culture. They support this by  keeping the lines of communication open for their employees. The leadership team developed a regular Town Hall meeting at each Shippers Group facility to facilitate the Roundtable Discussion Board. 

Five to seven employees are asked to come to the meeting with suggestions for improvement in their locations and other "hot" topics. A variety of topics are covered including benefits, safety, and workplace training. Employees are encouraged to present ideas, voice opinions and ask questions.  

"We invest in our people and we believe that good ideas can come from every level of the company. The Shippers Group is a place where employees are given opportunities to share their innovative ideas for improvements and discuss their challenges," says Rob Doyle, president of The Shippers Group.

The Shippers Group was excited to participate in sponsoring DFW CSCMP Round Table's Inaugural Charity Golf Event at Ridgeview Ranch golf course in Plano, Texas. All proceeds will go towards scholarships for local college students in a supply chain related curriculum.   

Global World Trade Day is May 4 and honors the international trade community. The observance of this day began when President Franklin D. Roosevelt officially proclaimed the benefits of global trade. Consider the amazing innovations that have impacted the global stage since President Roosevelt’s administration of the mid 1930’s! With the automobile just having become mainstream a decade before and passenger air-travel just beginning, who would have predicted cell phones, self driving cars, artificial intelligence and “Tesla ships”?
