The saying, “Third time’s a charm” hits close to home for Exchange HQ Contract Specialist Katrina Jones, who was selected as this year’s Health and Safety Motto Contest winner.
“This was my third time participating in the contest,” Jones said. “It’s always fun to come up with different mottos.”
Jones entered several ideas including the winning motto, “It’s 2023! Safety is Key,” which demonstrates the importance of staying safe in the workplace—a requirement Jones believes is vital.
“Safety starts with our field associates. All associates, as well as our customers, deserve a safe environment to work and shop, and to have the safest year possible,” Jones said. “To do what’s best for the organization and our customers, we must prioritize safety. It can become a negative ripple effect if associates aren’t safe and end up injured.”
Jones received the grand prize—a $100 Exchange gift card along with a challenge coin and certificate of appreciation from the Health and Safety office.
More than 800 entries were submitted by associates worldwide, said Vice President of Loss Prevention Tommie Caudle.
“It was exciting to see so many associates throughout the Exchange submitting their ideas and helping spread the importance of safety this year,” he said.
Four runners-up each won a $50 Exchange gift card, coin and certificate.
First runner-up: Jan Sandberg, maintenance foreman, RAF Lakenheath, “All Year, Safety Works Here!”
Second runner-up: Gabriel Vasquez, Human Resources assistant, Camp Foster, “2023… Safety’s Up to You and Me!”
Third runner-up: Ashly Gutierrez, materials handler II, Waco Distribution Center, “Safety… More Than Just a Motto”
Fourth runner-up: Janel Hamilton, services business tech, Columbus AFB, “Pay Attention for Accident Prevention”
