MASSILLON ‒ Three employees of Shearer’s Foods will get to choose a new truck or SUV after winning a raffle at the company’s end-of-summer celebration Saturday at its plant on Millennium Boulevard.
The vehicle giveaway was part of an incentive program the company made to recognize their Ohio employees for working well during their busy summer season.
“Thank you, everyone, so much for your … performance this past summer, said Eric Krizay, vice president of operations. “We turned in a record year for the Shearer’s company.”
Shearer’s , a manufacturer of salty snacks, cookies and crackers, provided incentives to employees in Massillon and Brewster. It offered prizes to those with weekly perfect attendance or those who volunteered to work extra shifts. Employees were given raffle tickets with prizes that grew larger throughout the summer. The prizes included iPads, grills, coolers and barbeque sets.
The company held its first fall festival last year, said Lauren Lab, human resources manager of the Brewster plant.
