Every month, Schwartz Insurance Group selects a peer-nominated associate to receive a Core Value Award. The winner is chosen because they "lived" one of our agency's core values - typically an event or accomplishment above and beyond the call of duty in serving our customers. For the month of September, Mike Morgan "lived" our core value of "Consider it Done."
Here's his story:
Finding the right employees to “fit” our small business culture is critical. After finding those people, a lot of detail and effort goes into the onboarding process.
Three new hires on three different teams meant the steps for each were all slightly different. This could have easily overwhelmed the “team of one” who would be responsible for a smooth, effective transition.
Fortunately, we have the man for the job. Our own Superman, in fact. Mike Morgan took it all in stride and delivered on the promise of quick and easy new hire set ups. It is gratifying when we’re able to Consider it Done!
Here, in his own words, is a little more information about Mike:
- You've worked at SIG for nearly two decades. What do you find most challenging about your role as Agency Services Director? Most rewarding?
Managing agency acquisitions will always be the most challenging part of the job. And watching how the agency has grown over the years has been quite rewarding for me. - Can you tell us a little bit about your personal background?
I'm from California. Met my wife in the Air Force and we moved to Louisville to be near her family. - What adjective best describes you?
Hmmm...I'd have to go with either "Muscular" or "Thoughtful." - Tell us about the pastime you love the most.
That's an easy question: Weightlifting! - Dogs or cats?
I'm a dog guy. - What's your favorite movie of all time?
STAR WARS! May the Force be with us all...
Congratulations on your Core Value Award, Mike - and thank you for doing such a terrific job for Schwartz Insurance Group. You are appreciated!
