Jacob Cruz is dedicated, versatile, and willing to go above and beyond to help the team. For his contributions over the past quarter, Jacob has earned recognition as the KC Employee of the Quarter for Q1 2023.
“Jacob is very consistent on SPARQ, always around the top of every category in the SPARQ Program,” said Tony Sutton, KC Warehouse Supervisor.
SPARQ stands for SAFETY, PRODUCTIVITY, ATTENDANCE, RESPONSIBILITY, and QUALITY. In alignment with these values, Jacob always conducts his work in a safe manner, taking responsibility for his part in ensuring a good working environment.
According to KC leadership, he rarely misses a day, and maintains a high level of quality – making minimal errors throughout the course of accomplishing his work-related tasks. In terms of productivity, Jacob added a new responsibility to his plate this past quarter.
“Jacob stepped into learning the FedEx duties when KC was shorthanded,” said Tony. It’s a prime example of Jacob’s approach of doing what it takes to help the team.
“Jacob consistently goes out of his way to help his fellow teammates about questions, finding lot numbers, item descriptions, and loading & unloading trucks,” Tony said. “You can put Jacob anywhere and he will excel.”
His flexibility and willing attitude are valued within the team – Jacob also helps with training for picking and receiving duties. It’s evident that he has earned the trust of those on the team and within leadership.
Outside of work, Jacob is a huge gamer, and enjoys sitting back and playing games to relax. Jacob is also into all things ‘90s and has a dog named Cain.
Congratulations Jacob, this recognition is well deserved!
Runners up for the quarter include Randy Draper (First Runner Up) and Oscar Perez (Second Runner Up).
