Renee stepped into a role as 'Acting Supervisor' in Arlington Shipping. Arlington Shipping has suddenly found itself in a huge struggle and in dire need of help. Since she has come back in the role, orders are moving and communications are improved. We, (Account Specialists) were really feeling the heat with keeping the customers apprised and updated. Things have really improved and we are in a much better place. I wanted to recognize Renee and when our Wichita group heard, they ALL wanted in on it. Wa are ALL so very appreciative of her GREAT efforts and we are ALL impacted by her leadership and drive to keep us shipping.

Eric Whaley, IT System Administrator in SkyGeek, LaGrangeville, NY – Recognized by Ashley Fontes for Sweep the Floor, Focus on Relationships, and Communicate

I'd like to recognize Eric Whaley with an On The Spot for his assistance with our social media event tracking setup for SkyGeek's LinkedIn. Setting up proper tracking is a very involved process including code, website updates, and third-party assistance. Eric demonstrated "communicate" by providing me with timely updates and troubleshooting progress through both email and Teams without me ever having to follow-up. He also demonstrated "Sweep the Floor" and "Focus on Relationships" by going above and beyond in making sure the tracking issues were resolved in a timely manner and making me feel like my problem was always top of mind to solve. I'd say 5-star service! With Eric's perseverance, the marketing team is now able to successfully track purchase conversions resulting from our social media ads. Thank you again, Eric! 

Keenan Newton, Warehouse Operations Clerk in Arlington, TX – Recognized by the Cristina Burnett for Sweep the Floor, Solve Problems, and Passion for Growth

I would like to recognize Keenan Newton for an On The Spot! This past month has been an especially busy tradeshow season, and Keenan Newton consistently stepped in to support well beyond his normal responsibilities. When a pallet containing critical tradeshow materials went missing, Keenan immediately jumped in to help locate it-ultimately saving the company hundreds of dollars in potential replacement costs and preventing disruption in our event plans. In addition, as we prepared for two major tradeshows, Keenan played a key role in coordinating shipments, packing materials, and ensuring everything was organized and delivered on time. his willingness to step in wherever needed, solve problems quickly, and support the team under tight deadlines made a significant impact on our success. Keenan's proactive attitude and team-first mindset truly embody our core values, and his support was instrumental in executing tradeshow season. Thank you so much Keenan!
