Turning The Tables at Point-Five Windows

摘要

It's reminiscent of a Las Vegas casino when Gordon Hannaford, surrounded by 60 to 70 employees at Point-Five Windows, stands behind a long wooden table covered with stacks of silver coins. But at these special ceremonies at the Fort Collins, Colo., company, everyone walks away a winner―including the house. Hannaford presents a one-troy-ounce coin worth about $9 to each employee to symbolize something that was once almost unheard of at Point-Five Windows: an injury-free month for all of its employees. These days, however, injury-free months have become the norm at Point-Five, a manufacturing company that specializes in high-end custom wood windows and doors made with exotic woods, copper, and hand-burnished finishes and patinas. Frequently, Point-Five goes 90 consecutive days without a workplace injury, and commemorates that milestone by presenting two silver coins to each employee.
