Oct Video:
Came out a little late. We watched it on the 26th.
Going forward, just going to mention the topics covered. Details available upon request, but everyone SHOULD have a chance to clock to education and watch it.
Mike was on location at the SuperTech competition in Raleigh, NC.
*Open enrollment (insurance) through Nov 8 and encouraged taking the wellness survey for your $100 each, for you and your spouse/partner.
*Welcomed some new members to the leadership team.
*Being at SuperTech, he spoke to Mike Hoffman, VP Equip. Maint. on the topics of Technology and the positive effects on efficiency, environmental gains, emergence of natural gas, as well as "telematics", ELD, and video capture.
*All road units are to have all of the safety components (technologies) by the end of FY18.
*Spoke to a competitor in the SuperTech event about the challenges of the competition, as well as the real benefits/knowledge that come with participation.
*Eric Voss, (multiple) Grand Champion of the event was featured in a video,
*Don Brown, shared the financials from 1st quarter FY17.
*Earnings, segment gains, margins (the good), as well as the challenges (revenue per, weight per, etc.). Rate increases in Jan.
Again, details upon request.
*Overall we were strong, compared to, and considering the market.
*Jeff Greer (SVP H/R) spoke about a couple things. His happiness with the feedback received as well as the current trend in the AIC (bonus) numbers. Worth noting the targets remain unchanged for FY17
*Also, J. Greer will be covering these topics in the future, as
Don Brown will be "transitioning" his replacement due to his impending retirement in July. So,
keep an eye out for THAT open position to be posted, if you are interested. Just kidding, they did not mention any such upcoming posting...
The end was a reminder of the PSP philosophy, Safety 1st and a list of the the FedEx competitors in SuperTech and their final ranking. 9 guys finishing from 1st to 18th.
