November GEM Award Recipient
Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate your peers for our monthly GEM Award! We love being able to celebrate and acknowledge a different employee every month who embodies the values and mission of our organization by going the extra mile every day. Per usual, it's hard to choose just one person, so please help us celebrate our next recipient.
Congratulations to our November GEM Award recipient, Jennifer McKee!
Read on to learn more about Jennifer going the extra mile:
Jennifer is the house manager at Binkley Drive. On top of all her duties as manager, seeing to peoples' doctor's appointments, being called on her days off and on her vacation, and making sure the group home runs smoothly and people are taken care of, she has been working at Academy helping train the new house manager, and she also trained the new manager at Mound Street. If there is a shift not filled or someone calls off sick, it doesn't matter what the shift is. She will pick it up and work. She worked many hours during covid when everyone at Mound Street had covid people as well as staff. There are several other co-workers I could name, but Jennifer deserves it this time. I worked under Jennifer when she was the CI team leader for 14 or 15 years. Jennifer kept staff and clients busy and made CI fun with many activities, outings, and more. We did fashion shows and special Olympics at the group home. There was always something going on.
