This week's spotlight is on Jordan Rock!
When Jordan joined the Rise crew at Peli BioThermal in Maple Grove back in 2021, it marked the start of an exciting new chapter in his career. After more than a decade of building his skills in a variety of jobs, Jordan was ready for a new challenge, and he is doing great!
In his four years at Peli, Jordan has learned an impressive range of tasks. He started out assembling insulated coolers that help transport critical medical supplies like organ and blood donations. Since then, he’s added packing boxes, palletizing shipments, operating pallet jacks, and handling freight deliveries to his list of skills. Each new responsibility has been another chance for Jordan to show his dedication and attention to detail.
The transition wasn’t without challenges, but Jordan’s determination, along with support from Rise, helped him gain confidence and grow in his role. Today, he’s trusted with more advanced responsibilities, including quality control and labeling products on the conveyor line alongside his Peli teammates.
Jordan’s coworkers and managers say he brings a positive energy that lifts the whole team. His upbeat attitude and strong work ethic make him a valued part of the workplace, and it’s not uncommon for coworkers to playfully debate over who gets to work with him each day!
Jordan’s success is a powerful reminder of how inclusive employment benefits everyone. When people have the opportunity to use their strengths, great things happen.
