Helped lead the Waterloo site to most improved plant of the year

As part of the leadership team we worked to bring out a sense of pride in the team. By doing this we lowered turnover and kept team morale up by actually building a team that everyone knew instead of introducing and training new members weekly or monthly. This helped bring focus to other areas as improving quality and the overall appearance of the plant.
