Annual Employee Award Recipients Honored at the Sholom Annual Meeting Twelve Sholom employees were honored this year. Nominated by their peers, Sholom clients, and families, these employees are compassionate, capable, and give of themselves every day. Here are just a few of the comments submitted in nomination of these special individuals: CUSTOMER SERVICE EXCELLENCE AWARDS BettyAnn Baustert—Leasing Coordinator, Knollwood Place Apartments “BettyAnn does a fantastic job keeping tenants well cared for. She is a strong advocate for them and makes their needs known. One tenant told BettyAnn that her presence and work makes him happy to live at Sholom.” Jordan Clafin—Nutrition Services Cook, Menorah Plaza Apartments “Day in and day out, Jordan Clafin displays extreme patience, kindness, softness and politeness. We [13 tenants] would like the administration to recognize his great work.” continued on page 4

A
long with our Sholom President, Chuck Selcer, I had the great pleasure to recognize our outstanding employees at our recent annual Sholom Community Alliance Annual Meeting. These employees were chosen for their excellence in customer service, caregiving and leadership and have made a difference at Sholom! Sholom employees are the foundation for all our services. To keep quality care and services of our residents, tenants and clients as our focus we need a strong cultural tapestry. To this end, the wellbeing of our employees is vital. When employees are educated (growth opportunities), have the necessary tools, and feel valued, they become engaged. Engaged employees raise our service standards and the experiences of our customers. Remarkable things happen when the flywheel starts moving—look out! I commit to working with all stakeholders to make this the best place to work and receive care and services! Please join me in this vision.
