Cindy HlavkaEmployee of the Month

Congratulations to Cindy Hlavka from all of us at eEmpACT!

Cindy takes pride in making sure the quality of work she delivers is absolutely accurate, which is why she's a perfect fit for our Accounting Department!

Recently Cindy had to handle a very complex situation with a business vendor. Communication via email and phone took a long time to resolve, but ultimately, Cindy was able to get the situation taken care of and stayed on track to meet her deadline. And she did all of this while performing her usual job function and training a new team member!

Thank you so much Cindy for your diligence on this matter, you deserve our Employee of the Month award!

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late!

Thanks to Bill Auchmoody from Partnership Staffing for reminding us of this timely topic since we're approaching "storm season". One of your precious assets is your daily backups of your software; not only from day-to-day disasters, but natural ones as well. We've helped customers recover their business from floods, hurricanes, fires and more--the stories we could tell you from Hurricane Ike! Have peace of mind about your business by making sure you either have a consistent backup process or talk to your Account Manager about other alternatives for offsite data backup and storage via online resources.

Tidbits of info involving natural disasters:

  • According to PalmBeachPost.com, hurricane is the Caribbean Indian word for "evil spirit and big wind". It's believed to come from the Carib Indians of the West Indies. Historians believe the Carib word huracan was probably derived from the Mayan storm god, Hunraken or the Quiche god of thunder and lightning, Hurakan.
  • There are, on average, 10 serious tropical storms and hurricanes occurring in the North Atlantic annually.
  • During the Katrina disaster, only 2 of 16 customers we contacted didn't take us up on our offer of backup services.

If you'd like more information about this service, please contact us at 800-350-0656 or reply to this email.
