Meet Kirk Butler from Nestlé Waters and be prepared to wish he was your colleague
On Kirk’s first day at Poland Spring there was 37 inches of snow on the ground. Most of us would have hightailed it to a blanket and scenic window, but Kirk didn’t want to be late. He arrived at 4:00 a.m. and grabbed a shovel. Since he wasn’t on employee lists yet, he hadn’t received the memo that the facility was closed for the day due to the snow. When other employees arrived the next day, Kirk’s shoveling had given them a safe path. From his very first moment as a Nestlé employee, Kirk was going above and beyond to have the backs of his colleagues.
