As we announced on June 1, VISTA Staffing Solutions and our worthy competitor, CompHealth, have challenged each other to a Food Fight to help end hunger in our communities. It’s CompHealth’s 663 Salt Lake City –based employees against VISTA's 189 employees, most of whom work in Salt Lake City. Additional VISTA employees are contributing from our offices in Atlanta, Wilkes-Barre, PA, and Cary, NC. The winners will be determined by total pounds of food contributed per employee.
It’s a month-long challenge, so it seemed appropriate to do a mid-month weigh-in. Can you do a drum roll in a blog? Well here goes...
CompHealth: 603 pounds/663 employees=.9 pounds per employee
VISTA:685 pounds/189 employees=3.62 pounds per employee
Woo-hoo! That’s a total of 1288 pounds of food donated. And the Utah Food Bank tells us that 1.28 pounds of food makes up one meal, so our combined efforts have put 1006 meals on the table for hungry families.
Remember that in addition to the satisfaction of feeding hungry people, the winning team will have the satisfaction of seeing the officers of the losing company dressed in competitor's logos at the next National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO) conference.
