At Genesis, we value people as our most important asset and to recognize this, we have an ‘Employee of the Quarter’ scheme to reward the hard work of individual team members.

These are people who have gone above and beyond their jobs roles to support the business and maintain the high standard of excellence Genesis upholds.

Each quarter, employees are asked to nominate the colleague they feel is deserving of the award, applications are sent in and the leadership team have the pleasure of reading through the nominations and tallying up the votes to see who wins for each side of the business – one for the UK/Europe, one for the US.

“It is always a pleasure to see who nominates who and the reasons behind the nominations. The recognition is chosen by the staff and we receive so many quality nominations, it’s great to see how colleagues value each other and the work that they do.”

– Conrad Mielcuszny, CEO

So, without further ado, the winners of our Quarter 3 2021 award are …

Millie is always there to brighten someone’s day when pressures in production are high and is an extremely reliable and respected team player.

Her positive attitude and willingness to see others succeed is a testament to her character, she is a true team player and a key member of the production team here at Genesis.

Asked about her award, Millie said: “I would like to thank everybody who nominated me and believes in me as it gives me motivation to do the best I can and be somebody who my coworkers can count on. I will always be grateful to Genesis and my colleagues for this recognition, I always like to be busy in my work and take pride in doing a good job.”

Debbie Williams, Group Compliance Officer

Debbie Williams, Group Compliance Officer

Debbie’s role is spread across both the US and the UK sites and she goes above and beyond to help everyone on both sides of the business. She is regularly the first in and the last out of the building and ensures that everything is done how it should be, performing the most important tasks of more than her own position if needed without hesitation.

She has been key to training new staff members in the UK office throughout the last quarter, ensuring they are settled in to the business and have the tools they need to progress their careers at Genesis. Debbie always tries to see the best in a situation and is quick to resolve any issues, helping to encourage positive attitudes through her quick resolutions.

She is part of the senior leadership team but her office door is always open and she is very approachable for staff at any level across the business. She is greatly admired and respected for the guidance she provides and was the driving force in steering the way to Genesis’ FSSC 22000 certification in Food and Feed Safety.

On her win, Debbie said: “To be awarded the Q3 Employee recognition award was a total surprise but one that is gratefully received. I am fortunate to work for a company who value their employees and this award means a lot as the nominations come from our colleagues. My thanks to those who took the time to nominate, it is great to be part of such a supportive team which allows us all to succeed.”
