Happy 5th work anniversary to Mia McCuistion in the Benefits Department! Mia makes an incredible impact every day. She’s kind, thoughtful, always willing to help, and trusted by everyone. Although she tried to retire last year, Mia stepped out of retirement to give her team a boost which has been a HUGE help. Despite having a lot on her plate, she does a fantastic job supporting employees, clients, and coworkers with professionalism and responsiveness, and always adds a personal touch. Mia is someone you can count on to get things done and truly represents what it means to be a trusted and valued team member. We’re so grateful for all you do, Mia! Happy !!

Happy 16th work anniversary to Aaron Davis in our Payroll Department!! Aaron is the prototype of what it means to be a trusted, dependable teammate. He’s very committed to taking care of both his clients and coworkers, and approaches challenges with a calm, positive attitude – and a great sense of humor. Aaron is quick to offer help to others, even during our busiest and most stressful periods, and does a great job with thoroughly answering questions where he often pulls out his quick wit, GIFs, or meme-making genius to make us laugh. His reliability, kindness, professionalism, and dedication often happen behind the scenes, but we all benefit from their impact. We’re incredibly fortunate to have you on our team, Aaron! Happy Sweet 16!!

Congratulations to Kennady Warby in our HR Department for winning June Employee-of-the-Month! Here are a few things her coworkers wrote in their nominations:
“It's almost like we took Kennady's personality traits and used them as our blueprint for the Stratus DNA. She's a rockstar! She just gets it. But rather than assuming she's reached the right conclusion, she proceeds with thorough precision and makes sure she has the correct context before executing something new. What a great addition to our Stratus family.”
“I know Kennady has a ton of work, I won't even pretend to know exactly everything she does, but she always seems to do it with care and a friendly attitude. I've worked with her recently about a client and their scorecards and I can tell how much she cares.”
“Kennady is doing great and was just promoted from a Human Resources Generalist to an Account Manager. She has earned this by working hard, being a good teammate, and being reliable. I have asked her for assistance with items and she always delivers.”
“Kennady has been stellar, proactive, eager to learn, and never afraid of a task. She consistently looks for ways to grow and improve herself, and I never have to worry about whether something will get done. She regularly goes above and beyond.”
“A client personally reached out to tell me how amazing it has been working with [Kennady] and how diligent she is. I can't wait to continue watching her grow.”
“Kennady is just one of those people you’re always happy to have on your team. She’s positive, quick to jump on new assignments, and not afraid to ask questions so things get done right instead of just sending it and praying. I know if she takes something on, it’ll get handled”
“I massively respect that if she’s too slammed to help, Kennady will just say so instead of overcommitting and drowning in silence. She goes out of her way to include people, adds great energy to the team, and while we may not be work-wife status, I know if I called her at midnight, she’d show up. Certified ride or die.”
“Kennady is a great co-worker with a strong dedication to doing a great job. She is approachable and happy to help. She is responsive and I know I can count on her.”
Congratulations again, Kennady! You've been knocking it out of the park and we’ve all noticed!! Keep up the great work!!

Rising heat? Although these proposed OSHA rules (access to water, rest breaks, cooling spaces, acclimatization protocols, and heat hazard monitoring) are not yet a federal requirement, many states have their own heat safety rules.
