Please join us in congratulating our 2025 Employee of the Year, Holly!!
What people have said about Holly:
✨ She’s our therapist
✨ The building wouldn’t stand without her
✨ How does she know so much about everything that makes this place run
Holly Zirkle was chosen to be our employee of the year for 2025.
Choosing Holly was a good one, even though she says, “It should have been someone else.”
When pressed as to why she may have gotten employee of the year,
she says, “I try to do my job well and people like me.” That is a way to succeed at work. As noted in her employee of the month write-up, she answers everyone’s questions and helps with everything from timecards to staplers to doctors’ appointments to copy machines to applications.
She solves problems with composure
and a smile. Sixteen years of experience have made her the top frog at the facility.
She’s everyone’s buddy because, as she describes herself, “(She’s) not the stereotypical female. I like camo. I wear hoodies. I feel more comfortable in blue jeans and a T-shirt than in a fancy dress. I don’t spend 45+ minutes on my hair, unless I have something important to do. I’d rather walk around barefoot, in my boots, or with sandals than in heels. I like to get dirty. I watch Netflix.
I talk with my mouth full of food. But you know, at least I have some personality. I’ve got friends and a family that matter to me.”
As she’s said before, “It’s about the people.” People are showing as they pass by her, saying “Hi, Holly!” or coming over to vent that she’s someone who matters to them.
Plus, she may have been a frog in a past life. 🐸
Congratulations Holly – well deserved!
