This week, the Advance Memphis Staffing Service employees made a great impression on the Strategic Development Manager for KTG, George Mapson. He took the time to tell us his thoughts concerning on our Staffing employees:
"On Tuesday morning I had a chance encounter with Craigen Harris [pictured above], one of your employees working at KTG USA, our tissue manufacturing plant in north Memphis. First, I don't believe it was a chance encounter. It was meant to happen. Craigen came into my office just after 7:00 am to advise me that his facial tissue team from Advance Memphis was going home as the machine was down and there was, unfortunately, no work for them today. I had never met him before. He explained what he was doing and what this opportunity to work meant to him and the rest of his team members and their families. I was both captivated and motivated by what Craigen had to say. What a breath of fresh air! Craigen then introduced me to other members of the Advance Memphis team. More breaths of fresh air! It was indeed unfortunate, especially at this time of year that the team was unable to work that day. Every day employed is a huge advancement forward in their lives. Our company also lost that day. We lost the opportunity of having respectful, highly motivated, hard working community members working in our plant to keep our customers happy....And not just "working." But working with a lot of desire and heart and very much aligned with what we are trying to do in our plant..."making everyday better." I wish I could have spent more time with Craigen and the Advance team. It would have been a precious learning experience. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Advance Memphis."
