Tonya Kostick Wins July 2021 Core Values Award
Tonya Kostick is the KA Core Value Award winner for July 2021. She is an Executive Assistant out of the Twin Cities office and was nominated by Leslie Greves. The nomination reads:
Tonya Kostick is a “behind the scenes” hero for KA. Much of what she does is not seen by the masses. But almost all of what she does is for the benefit of us all. Tonya has taken on a considerable amount of additional workload in the last year. She has been the primary HR team member monitoring and approving access to KA’s office buildings throughout COVID (and tracking down those that have not complied with all protocols) to keep us all safe and healthy. Tonya will only add to these COVID responsibilities as we begin tracking vaccinations and other items associated with our return to the office. She is notoriously frugal and keeps HR on or under budget while also being exceptionally creative.
It is Tonya that deserves credit for sourcing the incredible employee appreciation items we have provided throughout this year (KA branded masks, paper seeds, holiday gift boxes, welcome back bags, etc.). Tonya has an uncanny ability to turn even the driest of content into a highly professional, eye-pleasing presentation – full of infographics, rather than boring text that her team notoriously provides her. 😉 In addition to doing her existing responsibilities so very well, she pro-actively seeks out improvements for KA (electronic recognition portal) enhancing productivity and meeting needs we don’t even know we have. For all of these reasons, and many more it was time I nominate Tonya for this award.
