A Name Like No Other

How we named our newsletter.

When it came time to choose a name for the newsletter, we knew exactly who to turn to--our employees. Earlier this year, employees from Syracuse, Rochester, and Albany accepted Mohawk's first ever "Name That Newsletter Challenge." Once all employee submissions were received, we narrowed the entries down to the best five and held a company-wide vote. The winner, by an overwhelming majority, was none other than Global View, submitted by Steve Flohr, Export Coordinator (SYR).
