We have daily schedules to mix up those tasks we perform during the routine. We believe in adding variety of tasks to each person’s daily work. This helps with the boredom of routine.
We also strive to have employees able to perform other people’s functions when we have vacations or sickness.
Being on this team, everyone knows everybody here. Within each department there is a friendly familiarity of the people working here.
