ur company’s growth and development has been very clear this year. Total placements have continued to grow each month and we have encountered some of the largest growths we have experienced to date! We continue to engage new resources in both existing and new food processing facilities. Additionally, we have placed construction managers, accountants and a variety of other talented people in industries outside of food processing. Expanding our client base is critical to the diversification and overall success and growth of EVPS. As we continue to grow, we are always looking for referrals. Our bonus program is in place, so start referring your friends and colleagues!
Within the past few months, we have welcomed back several employees as well as added many new faces and trades around the country. Please join us in welcoming:

When your new employee referral is successfully recruited or you assist in the new placement of an existing EVPS team member, you will receive a $250-$1000 bonus. Bonus amounts are determined per contract and depend on the estimated overall value and length of the recruited employee’s contract.

Save Your Hands Humor me for a minute and see how fast you can tie your shoes or pull on your boots. You can use both hands but not your thumbs. Not so easy, is it? Did you know that approximately 25% of all disabling injuries damage the hands and fingers? Common causes of hand and finger injuries are: being struck by hammers, pinched between objects, pierced or cut by materials and tools, burned by hot objects or chemicals and caught in machinery. You can prevent most of these injuries by following a few simple rules:
Pick gloves made of material that correspond with the task at hand. Wear close-fitting gloves. Before using electrical tools, ensure that all proper guarding is functional and in place.
