When it comes to selecting a contractor for your project, several factors may come in to play, such as price or ability to meet a schedule. However, if the end result is a quality repair that will extend the service life of your structure, then you should choose a quality contractor.

The Trisco Systems team has been on a mission to get healthier and more active this summer! Nine Trisco employees signed up for a 6-week step challenge. Each participant was entered to win a grand prize at the end of the challenge. Each individual attempted to reach 10,000 steps at least one day each week. Over half of the participants ended up reaching the goal of 10,000 steps and completing the challenge.Subjects connected with a healthy way of life, sports, fruit, water.

Just because the summer is over, doesn’t mean the wellness challenges have to end. Trisco Systems continues to seek ideas for wellness challenges from employees in order to stay healthy, stay active, and continue to reach new exercise goals. Some potential ideas for the following months include biggest loser, healthy eating challenge, community scavenger hunt, and healthy meal picture challenge.
