Ethics & Integrity:
Andrea Geissler A customer recently told us that she was eating in the breakroom and dropped a $20 bill. A few minutes after she left the break room, Andrea came to her office and said, “I found this under the chair where you were eating,” and Andrea gave her the $20. The customer continued, “Not only does she do a great job of picking up after all of us, but she demonstrated the values of somebody we can trust implicitly in our building.” Thank you, Andrea, for all your honesty and commitment.
Damir Bajramovic Damir joined FBG early in 2015 where he has worked at several customer locations. Last year, Damir found a wallet of a MidAmerican employee during his shift. He placed the wallet safely in the office of a manager at MidAmerican and included a note to ensure the wallet got back to its rightful owner. We appreciate your honesty and integrity in all you do, Damir! Thanks for representing us all with honor.

While four team members were on medical leave, during which a large construction clean-up project was underway, Jamie’s sense of humor and calm demeanor further endeared her to our client and her team mates.

Innovation & Experimentation:
Chad Morgan Chad, a seasoned mechanic, joined the maintenance team at Hawkeye Community College as the Fleet Mechanic in 2016. Chad took it upon himself to drive to Dysart where the carts are purchased and negotiated a deal that allowed him to purchase used parts from other carts to use instead of purchasing new parts, resulting in substantial savings. Chad, thanks for trying something different and making responsible decisions that help our client and FBG!
