Congratulations to our Thompson Emerging Leaders Program GRADUATES! These 10 team members from across Thompson have now completed the year-long Thompson Emerging Leaders training program where they gathered in person to hear presentations and participate in workshops with the trained professionals from the Kirkwood Corporate Training team. The class concluded yesterday with a “graduation” and a special class project (details to come...) For Thompson, it all comes back to our mission, vision, and values. Our customers and employees constitute our two most valuable assets, and we are dedicated to the success of both. Thompson strives to provide a work culture where our team can grow and succeed within their role and within the company. Our vision is to employ the best people, who provide superior service and solutions to help our customers succeed. Employing the BEST people is the very first step, and this training helps us to do just that. Please help us to congratulate these Thompson Emerging Leaders. Thank you for all your hard work and engagement, we look forward to a bright future!

"Navistar President and CEO Mathias Carlbaum noted that North American commercial vehicle customers need fast, reliable, affordable and convenient power to effectively deploy ZEV fleets at scale, and that kind of infrastructure is lacking on all fronts."

Today Thompson managers from across our five locations gathered in Cedar Rapids for our official “2024 Kickoff” meeting! We discussed budgets, goals, and strategic initiatives for the upcoming years… It all boils down to continuing to focus on our customers and our mission: doing whatever it takes to help deliver what matters. If we stay diligent with this, we can’t fail. Of course we also had some fun today, too with a rock paper scissors contest and marshmallow spaghetti building activity. Thank you to Kirkwood Corporate Training for the space and the coaching and thank you to Craft’d for the delicious lunch! Looking forward to a great 2024!
