Manuel Garcia Gordo has been named Global Connections to Employment’s Team Member of the Quarter!
As a shift leader for our food service contract at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, La., Manuel supports staffing and food service operations to ensure that military personnel on base receive high-quality meals and service.
“Manuel has been a consistent and invaluable asset to the team, regularly going above and beyond expectations,” said Rodney Ross Jr., Manuel’s manager. “His proactive communication ensures all operational needs are met efficiently, and his responsiveness to any gaps in staffing or workflow has had a direct impact on maintaining smooth operations. Whether it’s stepping in to assist food service workers when needed or coordinating with the military’s executive chef to ensure their needs are met promptly, Manuel shows a deep commitment to the success of the team and the mission.”
For more than 10 years, Manuel has consistently shown up for his fellow team members, whether they need a ride to work or help on the line—all while being hard of hearing. He also speaks three languages, plus sign language, further enhancing his ability to connect with both team members and clients.
“His dedication to delivering exceptional service and supporting the team exemplifies our mission in action. He does not hesitate to take initiative, even in situations outside of his immediate duties, to ensure both coworkers and clients receive the attention and care they need. He lives out the organization’s values consistently, with integrity and the pride he has in his work day in and day out,” shared Rodney.
Congratulations, Manuel!
