"I have two individuals I want to highlight today. They were actually part of the team that helped us get Best in Show down in Bend, OR, last month. They had the chance to work hand-in-hand, while they were down there, with the Bend crews. I was really happy with their leadership and work ethic. They worked really really hard every day and stayed on task. I thought they were great examples of what we look for at GRO. They sacrificed time with family in order to go down their and help us achieve the goals we wanted to achieve so for going above and beyond, being bold, really hitting all the core values, Manuel and Gerardo!" - Manager Erik F.

"This was an employee to employee nomination. This gentleman has been setting a great example with his work ethic. There're a lot of new faces on his jobsite and he's been showing these guys how we do things at GRO with his hard work. He's been a really good role model for the new faces here.

Janitor and CEO are Equals In the grand scheme of a business, the janitor and the CEO hold equal importance. Imagine a day when anyone else besides the CEO takes time off; the business continues to run smoothly. But if the janitor takes a day off without a replacement, the work environment quickly becomes uncomfortable and less productive. So why do we often overlook the vital contributions of our janitorial and maintenance crews? In a corporate setting, no one should feel they are above another. Everyone's role is crucial to the overall success and well-being of the company. When I worked in the aerospace industry, I didn't hesitate to swiffer the floors or help take out the trash. Yes, it was manual labor that I wasn’t hired for, but those small gestures go a long way. Having a degree does not excuse anyone from treating all members of the company with equal respect and dignity. To this day, I spend weekends cleaning the machine shop. Managers and corporate leaders need to lead by example, get to know the janitorial staff, include them in conversations, and ask about their goals and aspirations. My dad and I both started as janitors, and it means a lot when management or your boss checks in and shows they care. I encourage you to initiate conversations at work, as you will never know the experiences people have gone through and how they can even help with obstacles at work! #Leadership #Respect #Equality #CorporateCulture #Teamwork #Inclusion #JanitorAndCEO #LeadByExample

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Meet Lee, Our Employee of the Quarter! 🌟 Congratulations to Lee, our Employee of the Quarter! We're so proud of how he upholds our company's core values of #integrity, #community, #teamwork, #happiness, #innovative, and #safety. We sat down with Lee to learn more about his role at the company and what these values mean to him: Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your role within Southern Ice Cream? A: "By myself, I’m a people person. People notice that. I love to make people smile. My job isn’t hard; it’s just cold. As for my job, I love and respect the people and keep up the good work. We all try to work together [office and drivers]." Q: Congratulations on winning Employee of the Quarter! How does it feel to be recognized for your dedication to our company's core values? A: "It’s very appreciative, trust me, because other people work hard and deserve it. It’s a good feeling, a good thing. I always notice people appreciate it, and it’s good to get that recognition." Q: Safety is paramount in everything we do. How do you ensure that safety protocols are followed in your day-to-day work, and how do you promote a culture of safety among your peers? A: "Safety first comes from being aware of your surroundings. Like you know, forklifts and pallet jacks. And also, coming in and out of the freezer, there's a blind spot, so you want people to know when you’re coming through. I tell people when I’m coming out because I almost ran into Jeff yesterday. You just have to be aware of forklifts and pallet jacks moving." Q: Looking ahead, what are your goals and aspirations within our company, and how do you plan to continue upholding our core values in your work? A: "Well, the goal is to keep an open communication with upper management and my team. That way, we can all be successful at our jobs. With the core values, those are things that come naturally to me. I don’t necessarily have to work on them; they come naturally to me."

Back in 1983, Napoleon Jackson came up the hard way when he first started working in a box plant — handloading bales of corrugated without the modern luxury of conveyors. For most of his career, he built up his skills on the plant floor, learning alongside machine operators and supervisors. Napoleon recalls how much things changed for him when PCA acquired the box plant he worked at about 15 years ago, "I didn't know anything about computers or managing people until PCA." Napoleon excelled as a Superintendent and eventually Production Manager through hands-on leadership. "At PCA, we always teach the importance of safety and let our employees know how they did that day and what they brought to the table. It's important to recognize success and hold each other accountable." When asked about the advice he'd give to someone just starting their career, Napoleon says, "Be dedicated, show up and apply yourself. There will be opportunities to move up." Outside of work, Napoleon makes sure to spend time with his wife, kids and grandkids — often at parks. Otherwise, you may find him cruising in his four-wheeler, Corvette or Slingshot! We'd like to thank Napoleon for over four decades of hard work and dedication. Please join us in congratulating him on this amazing career milestone!
