October was an exciting month for three Health Science Center employees who were recognized as some of the most outstanding employees on campus. Facilities management was pleased to recognize two individuals whose exceptional work earned them the Employee of the Quarter Award. Juan Contreras Jr., building attendant II and Joe Lara Jr., maintenance worker, were the recipients of the award.
Colleagues say Contreras is a highly qualified individual who possesses excellent custodial skills. He has demonstrated outstanding attendance and has served in a vital role in the absence of the building attendant. An excellent team player, he is certainly worthy of this recognition.
Lara has single-handedly taken over the lighting maintenance program for the entire campus. Since taking over these duties, his performance has been outstanding. His colleagues say he is prompt, efficient, reliable and always willing to go the extra mile. His selection as an Employee of the Quarter is richly deserved.
Surgery department recognizes Employee of the Month Veronica Davis’ excellent leadership abilities do not go unnoticed in the surgery department. In fact, her strong skills in a variety of areas earned her the department’s Employee of the Month Award.
Davis, an administrative assistant II in the general and laparoendoscopic surgery division, leads her team in a dynamic environment while exhibiting poise and confidence. Colleagues say her positive attitude fills the division with vitality and keeps their work moving. She is someone who will go beyond her job scope to help someone.
Davis will be presented with a certificate and a $100 Simon Gift Card that can be used anywhere that VISA is accepted. She will also be eligible for the honor of “Employee of the Year.” The recipient of this award will receive a five-night, four-day Royal Caribbean Cruise.
Congratulations to all of our exceptional employees.
