Employee of the Month

Gosh, we love it when our new employees find their niche and thrive! David joined the Kyrene Justice Court just two years ago as a career change and now.... he earned our CRAFT Award (our version of Employee of the Month)!
His manager said “David’s always willing to help others, he’s always looking for things that need to be done. He’s always doing it with a smile on his face and it’s appreciated.”
He claims his work ethic is not about winning accolades from others; it comes from within.
“It’s just what I do in the environment I’m surrounded by.” He looked around and smiled at his co-workers gathered for the award presentation. “I like coming in and just getting tasks done. As long as I feel accomplished for what I did during the day then I feel good going home.”
Thanks, David, for all you do. You deserve this!
