๐ŸŽ‰ Congratulations to Jon Keys for winning the Employee Recognition Award! ๐Ÿ†

Jon was nominated for the ERA this quarter for his extensive research on the Work Mobile App platform going above and beyond by investing countless hours in self-training and coding. Jon’s self-taught skills enabled him to develop custom forms crucial for our Technical Services department, facilitating a transition to a paper-free environment.

Under Jon’s guidance, the team successfully integrated new work record documents and certifications and streamlined processes such as invoicing and quoting. His introduction of QR coding for assets has had numerous benefits.

Thank you for your hard work and congratulations once again! ๐ŸŒŸ
