Greene County recognizes six employees with quarterly 'Great Job' customer service awards
Summary
At its Feb. 6 meeting, the Greene County Board of Commissioners and Human Resources honored six employees selected from 41 nominations for outstanding customer service; each winner receives a certificate and a $100 Visa gift card.
Greene County commissioners and the county Human Resources Department honored six employees during the Board of Commissioners meeting on Feb. 6, 2025, as part of the county's quarterly 'Great Job' customer service awards.
Human Resources Director Sherry LeBlanc said the program collects "Great Job cards" submitted by witnessing employees, holds them each quarter and selects six winners in a random drawing. "Great Job Cards, demonstrating outstanding customer service become part of the quarterly random drawing of 6 winners who receive a certificate of appreciation as well as a $100 Visa gift card," LeBlanc said.
The county reported 41 Great Job cards for the fourth quarter (Oct. 1'Dec. 31). The six winners announced and their departments were:
- Lois Adkins Keller, caseworker III, Children's Services, Job and Family Services. LeBlanc said Keller received three separate Great Job cards during the quarter for "amazing placement finds for some really difficult to place" youth and for providing detailed information to potential providers.
- Dale Belcher, trades technician, County Services, more than 22 years of county service. A treasurer's office employee wrote that Belcher's workmanship on recent construction "is a testament to your hard work and professionalism."
- Jason Crabtree, water maintenance worker, Sanitary Engineering (Utilities Maintenance), more than 31 years of service. LeBlanc said Crabtree was nominated along with eight coworkers for a high-pressure repair at the water plant.
- Michelle Davis, Job and Family Services. A supervisor's nomination highlighted Davis's calm, empathetic approach to a customer facing mental health issues who arrived shortly before closing.
- Judith Ekpo, caseworker, Children's Services, about 12'1/2 years of service. LeBlanc said Ekpo was recognized more than once for treating clients and staff with respect and handling situations with "utmost sensitivity."
- Mary McKinley, program coordinator, Records and Archives, about 16 months with the county. McKinley was recognized by her director for designing brochure panels for a new grant-funded exhibit at Ledbetter Road.
LeBlanc described the program as a way for coworkers and supervisors to acknowledge service beyond daily duties and said the Great Job program emphasizes both internal and external customer service. The county presented certificates and the $100 Visa gift cards to the six randomly drawn winners during the meeting.
Commissioners and staff offered brief congratulatory remarks as winners were introduced and photographed.
