This week’s Pay-It-Forward nomination is from Nick Iorfida for Ruth Takele, Employee Onboarding Specialist with GuidePoint Security. Sharing how Ruth embodies our core values, Nick wrote: “No Jerks! - Ruth was the first person I talked to on my first day at GuidePoint Security. Onboarding at a new job can sometimes be cumbersome, overwhelming, etc. with lots of unknowns and so much to learn. But Ruth’s approach and friendly demeanor made my experience as easy as could be. She made me feel welcomed right away. Take Ownership & Complete The Mission - Ruth not only provided me with a smooth onboarding and first day, but continued to check in with me as she promised to. Beyond my own experience, I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Ruth on many new employee onboarding tickets, where it’s clear that she goes out of her way to ensure all of our new team members have the same great onboarding experience she provided for me.” Please join us in congratulating Ruth!
