Employee Appreciation In June of 2009 Holmes Foods started an employee appreciation program that awarded excellent attendance of all plant employees. We have since handed out thousands of dollars in rewards for perfect attendance. Some of the prizes have included $10, $20, $25 and even $50 and $75 gift cards and cash prizes. Scheduled for the December drawing is a $700 big screen television drawing for the employees that have had perfect attendance from June thru December. Pictured below is Plant Manager and Vice President, Fred Barlow, awarding Mr. Glenn Monroe of the Back Dock Trucking Department with a $50 cash prize. Thank you to all of our employees that put in the effort it takes to make Holmes Foods great every day.
