  1. CleanSweep EmployeeNewsletter March 2014 FromLauri’sDesk… March 2014 I don’t believe I have ever written about a vacation I went on but I spent last week in San Jose, Mexico.  The reason I want to write about it is because I was so impressed with the staff at the resort.  In fact I was so impressed that I wanted to bring them all home with me or start a janitorial company there.  Their work ethic is absolutely amazing.  I talked about it several times during the week.  Everyone from the staff at the front desk to the store clerks to the custodians were not only friendly but extremely courteous on how they conducted themselves.  I know the pay isn’t very good.  I know they work a ton of hours.  I know they have to clean up a lot of messes that people make.  I definitely know they have to work in the heat because it was very hot there.  But somehow they still manage to smile and do their job at a very high level.  Their job is very similar to ours.  It is all about customer service.  So why did they stand out to me?  To them I was one of their customers.  Do we stand out to our customers in a positive way?  If we don’t we need to.  Our competition is always breathing down our backs but I can promise you if we stand out to our customers in a positive way we never need to worry about the competition.  So no matter if you work in the office at Jack’s or in the field your position affects how our customers feel about us.  Let’s make them feel good! EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT Hello. My name is Jonathan Schiesser. I am the new Human Resources Recruiter at Jack’s. I am originally from a small town, Juneau, Wisconsin. Currently, I live in Green Bay. I served in the United States Army Reserve for 6 years as a Human Resources Specialist and as a Combatives instructor. While in the Reserves I also attended the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay, where I majored in German and International business. During my time at UWGB I also traveled abroad to Beijing, China as an intern over a summer teaching English. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and getting to learn more about all of you! I enjoy running. I play basketball and volleyball and I enjoy camping and golfing in the summertime. Hidden Employee Number: Employee numbers are randomly hidden in the employee newsletter.
