Supply Chain Specialist, Karim Eootm, is unanimously voted by his peers for the Employee of the Month Award (May 2021). In his position at Vikor, Karim is responsible for printing and expediting supply orders with speed and accuracy. Logistics Manager, Natalie Bruce, reflects on Karim’s growth, character and work ethic, “It has been a privilege to see him grow with our company. Karim’s happy, fun-loving attitude is infectious and brings such joy. He constantly makes us laugh. His dedication is priceless, and we are so excited his peers see the same attributes that we see in him daily.” Teammates accolade his promptness, noting that even though Karim is a downtown dweller without a car, he arrives at work on time every day, “no matter rain, shine or hurricane.” Jerad Chandler, Supply Chain Manager, reinforces that Karim is more like a family member than a colleague, “We have a tight knit atmosphere here in our Supply Chain Department and Karim seems to mesh right in.”

Karim responds to winning May’s Employee of the Month Award with the same humility and graciousness of which his colleagues appreciate and admire:

“Receiving the honor of being named the Employee of the Month was something I always strived for and found myself surprised when my fellow peers and family chose me. It truly was an honor to know that this family I work with on the daily chose me to represent the award for this Month. The emotions that I felt being recognized with such an award was immense, especially coming from a group of people I consider an honor to work side by side with. I truly love and enjoy my job, and it felt amazing to be recognized in something I love so much. There are not very many words I could use to show my true appreciation for this reward and the emotion I felt when I received such an award. I personally want to thank Natalie, Tyler, and Jerad for giving me the opportunity and believing in me with their guidance and help truly made me love and appreciate this job so much more.”
