VALENTINE ENTERPRISES, INC.

“The Doctor is In” 🩺 At Valentine, we are always looking for ways to care for the wellbeing of our employees from safety to recognition and everything in between. This week our healthcare provider was on site offering free flu shots and biometric testing for all employees. Show your employees you care for them, and they will care for you and your customers.

Shining brighter than the summer sun! 🌞 A HUGE congratulations to our May/June Employees of the Month, Mohamed Samb (picture below) and Anderson Ordaz of TRC Talent Solutions! Your dedication and hard work are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for going above and beyond.   We are grateful for your positive attitude and hope you’ll enjoy the perks of being #EmployeeoftheMonth

It’s been a busy summer at Valentine, which is nothing new for our sole milestone anniversary of the season–Primitivo Cabrera. This past May, Primitivo celebrated 20 years as part of the VEI team! An incredible accomplishment, we are grateful for his dedication to consistent quality.

We had a good turnout of volunteers for StreetWise Georgia's annual back to school event. Always happy for the opportunity to give back, VEI and TRC Talent Solutions employees assisted with check-ins, checkout, traffic control, and restocking supplies. Some of our volunteers also served as personal shopper assistants for StreetWise clients. Especially helpful were our employees who speak Spanish. They were able to assist those clients with their selection of school supplies and clothing. Our volunteers were quick to assist StreetWise clients in every area throughout the evening. Shout out to the following employees and their families who volunteered Thursday (after work, no less!): Kathy Scott Melissa Kent Shannon Menz Jerry Lane, Karina Cruz Lane and Matthew Cruz Lane Ninoska Fernandez Carmen Borges Maud Bamford Julaidy Mateo Bonifacio Mirian Thomas

We had a great time celebrating the Fourth of July New York style last week thanks to Robert Fuhr Consulting. A favorite holiday of ours here in Gwinnett County Georgia, having a taste of a classic NYC celebration was a special treat before we closed for the long holiday weekend. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend no matter how you celebrated our nation’s independence!

Cheers to a Productive Q2! ☕️ Valentine and TRC Talent Solutions are feeling grateful for our amazing teams this quarter! To celebrate their hard work and dedication in #Q2, we treated them to a visit from TradeWind Coffee Co.'s Coffee Cruiser last week. With perfect weather, everyone was able to enjoy a refreshing break and a delicious drink of their choice. It was a great way to recharge, connect with coworkers, and show our appreciation for their continued efforts.

January marked the start of the year and a milestone of five years at Valentine for Shannon Menz. Shannon enjoys getting team members up to speed with procedures and processes at Valentine. Taking the mentality of a competitive rowing crew , she sees the importance of everyone working in harmony to move the boat forward. She takes joy in creating and fostering this synchronization amongst her teammates. You can catch her doing deepthink work with classical music for focus or promoting the supportive workplace culture that make VEI so special.
