Poste : File Maintenance Clerk
Valeur fondamentale : Get it Done with Passion and Integrity
One of Krystene’s favourite parts of her job are the connections she has made during her 38-year career. « I’ve created some really great friendships over the years. » One of those connections is with Norma, an elderly customer who lives alone in the community. When Norma failed to show up recently, Krystene and her co-worker Kelly Sato investigated only to discover that Norma was in hospital with a broken hip. They visited Norma and offered to clean her apartment to make it tidy for when she got home. The apartment, however, was in very bad shape and needed much more than a quick cleaning. Enlisting co-workers Andy Baxter and Kathryn Lachuk, they refurbished the apartment by sourcing cabinets, flooring and gently used furniture, ensuring that Norma had a clean, bright and modern space to come home to. Going way beyond the call of duty is something that her boss, Rahim Valiani, has instilled in her. « He is amazing. He teaches us to be better people. »
