Happy holidays, from everyone at BACS!

Employee of the Month

azah

A’Zah was nominated because she embodies the value of accountability in the SAGE Program. She is reliable with getting clients needs met by meeting them where they are at, and has taken initiative in making sure that they get the services and benefits that they are entitled to by doing “whatever it takes”. A’Zah has been a strength and asset to the SAGE Team, by holding staff accountable for self-care.

“What I like most about my job is the connection within my team and the willingness to help all participants beyond our familiarity. We lean and depend on each other to help everyone. And also the fact that employees feel appreciated not only by participants but also staff members. Everyone is genuinely excited for each other’s success.” – A’Zah

Congratulations, A’Zah, and thank you for all you do on the SAGE team!
