Outdoor Cap has been recognized as one of the Greatest Companies To Work For by PPAI. Each year Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) finds the best places to work in the promotional products industry across thousands of supplier and distributor companies by surveying employees at those companies across benefits, resources, culture, leadership, and overall company direction. The winners each year have the highest marks from their respective employees.
We've attended a lot of trade shows so far this year and enjoyed seeing so many people and talking about our favorite things (caps)! Here’s a quick summary of our trade shows in 2023.
2022 was a great year for Outdoor Cap. We had a lot of changes, spent a lot of time together, and were able
to
help our community and each other. We look forward to everything coming in 2023.
Safety and wellness have been top of mind at Outdoor Cap. While we have many programs to protect our
employees,
we have never had a dedicated person to advocate and partner with employees to meet safety and wellness
goals. In
past years, we've worked with different agencies that have treated us well but weren't “us." We needed
a
more holistic approach.
On Wednesday, November 30, Outdoor Cap and JUNK team members were able to participate in a $1000 shopping
spree
for new toys for the Salvation Army Magical Toy Drive in partnership with KNWA. Our lobbies in the 1201
building
and the JUNK building hosted public drop-off spots for donations of new unwrapped toys. Outdoor Cap and JUNK
joined the main sponsors this year and are grateful for the opportunity to help locally.
The Salvation Army Magical Toy Drive
makes the holiday season a little
brighter by gifting presents to underprivileged children. The Outdoor Cap team members were paired up, each
given
a cart, and the spree was split between them. Dustin Boyd's group tried to average $10-12 a toy to optimize
the
number of children that could receive a gift this Christmas.
Dustin said, "It's great to work
somewhere
with the capacity to give back to the community with resources. We don't just sell hats. We help improve the
value
of the community around us. The toy drive is an important reminder that there are a lot of people that still
need
help."
As we move from November, we still keep generosity and gratitude in our hearts. We hope you had a wonderful
Thanksgiving break and are looking forward to the rest of the Holidays. We at Outdoor Cap only exist because
of the outstanding employees that come together every day excited about what they do and looking forward to
making change for the better in the industry.
