Last week, we honored thousands of colleagues during our annual Recognition Day by recognizing employees’ milestone service anniversaries. The efforts and commitment of our long-time employees help us continue to create inspiring workplaces for all of our employees.
This year, we recognized more than 5,700 team members who are reaching a Quest milestone anniversary—five years or more, in increments of five years. ExamOne employees made up 131 of those employees.
Celebrations were held across the company and the country, including a reception at the Lenexa laboratory for the 15-, 20- and 25-year milestone employees. ExamOne President Stuart Smith congratulated the honorees, saying, “I truly appreciate your dedication to ExamOne. Your years of service have certainly contributed to our success – in the past, present, and the future.”
Join us in sharing our appreciation to these employees for reaching significant milestones.
