HOISINGTON — Superior Essex of Hoisington recently announced the second quarter recipient of the 2018 STAR Employee Recognition Award. Allen Scott, Manufacturing Team Lead (recently promoted to Manufacturing Supervisor), will be treated to a dinner in his honor, a customized gift pack, a plaque, and STAR Employee parking privileges.

The Superior Essex STAR Recognition Award Program is designed to recognize STAR employees (Superior Teamwork Attitude and Results) for their outstanding teamwork, service, attitude, performance, and commitment to achieving the Plant’s goals.  One employee is selected to receive the award each quarter based on peer nominations.   

Scott has been employed with Superior Essex since January 2016.  He consistently demonstrates all of the qualities expected of a ‘STAR’ employee such as high work quality, work ethic, safe work practices, initiative, positive attitude, teamwork, volunteerism, mentoring skills, patience, and dependability.   On the nomination form, where asked “Why do you believe this employee deserves this award”, the nominator replied:  “Allen is a pleasure to work with.   He is punctual and never says no when asked to do something.  He will go out of his way to assist on the insulating lines or in other departments if the need arises.  He is always looking at the bigger picture and keeping the best interest of the plant in mind as he comes to any decision.  Allen is very knowledgeable in his position and is not afraid to ask questions if he does not know the answer or solution.”   Several examples of meeting the STAR criteria were provided on the nomination as well.

Tony Szot, Plant Manager, said, “Allen is a top performer with a positive attitude and commitment to teamwork.  He is dedicated and passionate about his work. Allen’s leadership has played a significant part in making improvements in the plant.  He is very deserving of the STAR award and it is a pleasure to have Allen working at the Hoisington plant.”
