Tami Hiyasat, UPC Coordinator, joined Houston’s in October 2018. For more than five years, she has been a valued member of the Warehouse Team, working with diligence, accuracy, and a team-first mindset.

For these qualities and more, she has earned recognition as Wilsonville Warehouse Employee of the Month for December.

Tami works in Houston’s UPC room, where products are repackaged, relabeled, and broken down into different selling units. These processes can provide value for Houston’s and our customers in meaningful ways.

As an example, a certain type of beverage glass may come from the vendor packaged in a master case of three dozen. The UPC room may break the master case down into packs of one dozen, to offer an option for our customers who may not want or need three dozen glasses at one time.

“Tami has done an amazing job at balancing the workload in the UPC area with the resources that she has available,” said Brenda Hart, Receiving Supervisor. “She does a great job at facilitating projects for other team members.”

For the month, Tami earned a 4.71 rating on the SPARQ Wall. Brenda noted that Tami achieved a high volume of productivity while maintaining a high accuracy rate, as well.

She’s also willing and able to take on tasks outside her regular slate of UPC duties. As a team player, she has also been available to pull orders when needed over the past month.

“Tami is eager to learn, and takes the opportunities to expand her knowledge of the company,” Brenda said.

It is evident that she is focused on team and company goals, and steps in to get the job done in a responsible and thoughtful way.

Outside of work, Tami loves spending time with her children and enjoys outdoor activities, especially outings on the river.

Congratulations Tami! This recognition is well deserved.

Runners up for the month include Cesar Correa (First Runner Up) and Jose Samuel Vazquez (Second Runner Up).
