Supported employee Ben Delaney is proving a star performer in applying stickers to pet food packaging as part of a Glenray Manufacturing labelling contract for Nestle Purina Pet Care. Glenray Manufacturing Business Manager Jeff Pawsey said: “We’ve been keeping a tally on how many labels our supported employees are applying to help promote team work and a bit of competition in our crew,” said Jeff. One day recently Ben applied 1,000, a great effort considering his team’s collective effort was 5,400. Ben said: “I just love doing the stickers. It’s so good. It gives me something to do.” Labelling and stickering is important work for an Australian disability enterprise such as Glenray Manufacturing. Jeff said: “It brings out some untapped potential in some of our individuals. The results have been astounding as people who have had difficulty at the start have risen to the challenge,” said Jeff. “The tasks promote teamwork among the crew. It’s very engaging for them, they are personally accountable for their efforts and high performers are rewarded,” he said. Ben and the team are notching about 12,000 labels a week – adding ‘10kg value’ stickers to a new line of Nestle Purina Pet care Supercoat dog food.
