I recently traveled to Korea (Global Outstanding Employee Invitation). The trip was very enjoyable and generated within me a sense of value. I truly appreciate the opportunity to experience the Glovis environment from a futuristic perspective.
Upon my return, I was overcome with positive energy and couldn’t wait to share it. I shared my experience with all employees. I wanted to embed within them the scope of Glovis innovative discoveries and its dedication to several areas of future development. These areas were both personnel and operational inclusively.
With that being said, it has truly been a challenge to help cultivate the current working environment in the direction of our parent company but I currently think we are trending in a positive manner. I am joyful to bring about positivity in the work force and provide them with an attitude of hope.
