ENTERPRISE
TO HIRE 6,500 IN 2004
Responding to continued growth and consumer demand, Enterprise Rent-A-Car
will hire 6,500 people in 2004, officials said. “Our steady growth
has created a continual need at Enterprise for college-educated
individuals to join our management training program,” said Ed Adams,
senior vice president of human resources. “These motivated entry-level
employees are taught the business from the ground up with a strong
focus on building exceptional customer service skills.”
Last year, Enterprise opened more than 300 new locations, increasing
its total to more than 5,500. Enterprise mostly will be seeking
candidates for its Management Training Program, where nearly 100
percent of its operational employees get their start.
CLAYCO AND LEGACY TO BUILD CITY ACADEMY
Clayco Construction Co. and Legacy Building Group LLC have joined
forces to build a new facility on St. Louis’s North Side. City Academy,
a private elementary school, will move from its current location
at the Mathews-Dickey Boys’ and Girls’ Club, 4245 N. Kingshighway
Blvd., to a three-acre lot adjacent to the club. The two construction
firms will complete the two-story, 42,000-square-foot school in
time for the 2004-2005 school year.
SSM HEALTH CARE TO BECOME SMOKE FREE
SSM Health Care will become tobacco-free by Nov. 18, 2004, coinciding
with the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout. As of
that date, no tobacco use of any kind will be permitted inside or
outside any of SSM Health Care’s 20 hospitals, clinics, medical
office buildings or nursing homes. This includes the elimination
of outdoor smoking areas where employees, patients and visitors
currently smoke.
Sister Mary Jean Ryan, president and CEO of SSM, said, “As a health
care organization committed to the health and safety of its employees,
patients and their families, it is our responsibility to take a
leadership role on this major public health issue. I can think of
no better step to take than to eliminate the use of tobacco throughout
SSM Health Care.”

new employees will be hired by summer, with a total of 100 expected
within three years.

For the first time, Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. will sponsor an Olympic
Games held outside the U.S., becoming the “official beer sponsor”
of the 20th Olympic Winter Games, to be held in Torino, Italy, in
2006. Company officials said they will support the sponsorship through
point-of-sale materials, sales promotions, branded merchandise and
other marketing programs.
In addition to the 2006 Winter Games, Anheuser-Busch has signed
a separate agreement with the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), extending
Budweiser and Bud Light as the “official beer sponsors” of the U.S.
Olympic Team through 2008.
