Employees at our Melbourne, Fla., facility kicked off fiscal year 2007 with a Mexican fiesta on Nov. 6, 2006. The event was a chance for managers to say thank you to all 1,300 of our employees for their outstanding business performance ending FY’06 and into the beginning of FY’07. Melbourne Operations has been performing at all-time record highs in manufacturing production output and wanted the recognition to start 2007 off with a unique and fun teaming event.

"We wanted to find a fun, new way to recognize our employees and make sure they knew how much we appreciated their efforts – and the results of those efforts," said Robbi Horne, manager, Human Resources in Melbourne. "The fiesta turned out to be a great opportunity for everyone to get to know one another a little better and take a break from our busy schedules."

Leaders donned sombreros and served up enchiladas, taco salad, and rice and beans to employees during the event.
