For nearly 10 years, Jose Vazquez has been a dedicated and hardworking member of the Wilsonville Warehouse team. Over his tenure with Houston’s, he has shown a high attention to detail, a team-first mindset, and a willingness to take on new tasks. For these qualities and more, Jose has earned recognition as the Wilsonville Warehouse Employee of the Month for February.
Jose’s team-first mindset was on full display at the start of January, when he stepped up to cross-train and perform tasks above and beyond his normal slate of duties. With a number of team members out for vacations, Jose’s flexibility had a big impact.
“Jose spent the first two weeks (of the month) in Receiving cross-training to receive POs and truck unloading,” said Angie Buffetta, Cash & Carry Supervisor. “He really played a huge role and went the extra mile to keep the department running smooth.”
The cross-training in Receiving must have felt like a bit of a role-reversal for Jose, who is one of the team members frequently called upon to train others on pulling orders.
With his consistent productivity, high degree of the accuracy, and dedication to safe operation of his equipment, Jose sets a good example for others on the team. It’s a good display of his most valuable attributes.
“His hard work and constant dedication to the company are an asset to the team,” Angie said.
It’s also a banner example of the growth Jose has achieved since he first came aboard with Houston’s in August of 2013.
“When Jose first started with the company, he wasn’t as familiar with the layout of our system or truck loading,” Angie said. “He is now very experienced with all of this so well, which is why we often ask him to train new hires.”
Always willing to step up, help out, and learn something new, Jose Vazquez is a valued member of the Wilsonville Warehouse team. Congratulations, Jose! This recognition is well deserved.
Runners up for the month include Eduardo Reyes (First Runner Up) and Alex Villarreal (Second Runner Up).
