Recently, PPG announced that they would be having a contest on who could decorate their cubicle the most creatively for Christmas. The categories included Best Logistics Theme, Most Creative, etc. Since we have a great working relationship with the PPG team, we were asked to participate. The judging was to be held on December 6th at 1200 right before the PPG Christmas Party.
We brainstormed on some fun logistics themed decorating ideas and started to gather some supplies. Since we had only been told about the contest a week prior, time was not on our side. We decided that we would take the approach from the movie Elf, with Will Ferrell. All the employees left for the day on Dec 5th, but the JB Hunt team started to decorate. When everyone returned to work on Dec 6th, the WOW factor really set in.
The JB Hunt team decided to decorate the entire quad of cubicles instead of focusing on just one desk.
After all the glitter finally settled, this is what remained. A Christmas tree with PPG and JB Hunt ornaments, lights, hand made snowflakes, angels, and garland, wrapping paper, presents, tree skirts, candles, and even a fire place, well sort of. Hahah, we used the big screen TV that usually displays "trucks on a map" and turned it
into a fireplace, actually we just put a YOUTUBE video on it of a fire burning.
So we went on a tour of all the PPG decorated cubicles and to our amazement, we were chosen as the overall winner in the most resourceful category. We were given a trophy and a gift basket full of delicious cheese and crackers.
