In keeping with aspenhome’s™ commitment to customer care and satisfaction, aspenhome introduced the “A Team” awards last July to its corporate staff. Twice a year aspenhome celebrates the achievements of employees that go beyond the call of duty to better serve their customers and clients on a continuing basis. They are employees that exemplify the goal of “Better Information + Better Decisions + Faster Shipments + Dedicated Employees = Happier Customers.” As always, competition is tough. The superior candidates are nominated by their department heads and reviewed by a panel of judges who select just four winners in January and four winners in July. In January 2006 the A Team winners were employees that “got it, got it right and got it moving,” according to Johanna Fina-Spoks, aspenhome Human Resources Director. “They kept our products moving better, quicker, faster and cheaper above and beyond their job responsibilities.” The January 2006 A Team winners were: Sal Martinez- Shipping Supervisor Beverly Doherty- Customer Service Representative Lynn Kulhman- Parts Administrator Michelle Casciola- Import Order Coordinator In July 2006 the A Team winners were employees that “went the extra mile to better serve our customers and clients each day,” Fina-Spokas stated. The July 2006 A Team winners were: Kim Morrison- Marketing Coordinator Stephen Bodine- Programmer/Report Writer Beatrice Estrada- Data Entry Antonio Murillo- Inventory Control The winning A Team employees received an all expense paid three-day trip for two to the Las Vegas Furniture Market where they saw the company in action. They were treated to dinners, shows and accommodations.
