FM Employee Recognition Awards

Arturo Carrillo has worked in Custodial Services for four years now. Arturo comes to work each day with a smile on his face and the best attitude that becomes contagious to the people around him, which is amazing considering he starts his day at 4:00 am! Even now with the requirement to wear masks, you can still tell that Arturo is smiling under his mask because his smile touches his eyes. Arturo's sunny disposition spills over at PAIS, the building he services. Arturo works with his customer to ensure their needs are being met. Arturo goes above and beyond making sure his customer is happy. Arturo is an asset to our team and we are very fortunate to be able to work with him. - Nominated by Lisa Reeder

John Sannar (Main Custodial) is always willing to lend a helping hand, even when it is not his department. John will stop what he is doing to help others and goes beyond his duties to make sure things get done right the first time. John is also part of the COVID cleaning team. – Nominated by Emmet Martinez (Lock Shop)

 This recognition is given by staff to their peers for activities that may warrant something more than a verbal “thank you.” Examples may be providing extra help on a project, notable acts of kindness, being an extraordinary team player, etc.

Greg is always looking to make UNM Grounds and Landscaping the best it can be. He supports Grounds employees with training sessions, team building and mentorship. Mr. Brachle helped me immensely over the last year to acclimate to my new position with Grounds. Greg routinely takes the time to help his crew members grow in their positions and personally. Mr. Brachle brings a can-do, positive attitude to the office daily, helping to create a great work environment. Greg does many of the little things that go unnoticed daily. He helps orchestrate and execute the maintenance of equipment, the cleaning of homeless camps, and any other issues that may arise daily. Greg is always willing to lend a helping hand. He never seeks the spotlight but, certainly deserves the spotlight for all of his hard work and dedication.     - Nominated by Scott Lewis

 Simpson received nominations from both current and past FM staff, each commending his positive attitude and responsiveness to the needs of customers and his team. One nominator noted, “Dave exhibited excellent customer service during the entire time I served with him at FM (4 years).

Overall, I would say that he is one of the top managers at FM.” Another added, “He is willing to go to bat for his guys. He is big on recognizing his staff…and lets them know how things are going.” In presenting the award, FM Director Al Sena said to Simpson, “You have displayed, through difficult circumstances, a level of work that we aspire to and you’ve helped keep the University and the department successful.” Those recognized for this award demonstrate the qualities of outstanding leadership, customer service, promoting a positive work environment and making a significant contribution to the success of their work groups.
