John Klauk Presented with Cheers from Your Peers
The WOW! Committee recently congratulated John Klauk with the Cheers from Your Peers award. Klauk is the procurement manager with Hattiesburg Clinic Information Systems (IS). This award is given to employees who exemplify Hattiesburg Clinic’s values – Commitment, Compassion, Fairness, Integrity, Respect and Vision.
At Hattiesburg Clinic, teamwork and continuous improvement are essential, and Klauk exemplifies both. In February, Klauk took the initiative to cross-train with the Purchasing department to gain a deeper understanding of their daily operations.
Over two days, Klauk worked in the warehouse, shadowed office staff and asked insightful questions to see how Purchasing’s workflows could inform and enhance his own team’s processes. His willingness to learn and collaborate did not go unnoticed.
“John is always trying to better himself and his department,” said Ginger Thomas, a buyer with Hattiesburg Clinic Purchasing. “He is always so helpful to our team, has a great attitude and consistently looks for ways to improve processes and make things run smoother.”
Klauk’s dedication to efficiency and teamwork highlights his commitment to Hattiesburg Clinic’s operations. His efforts have made a lasting impact, and his colleagues are grateful for his hard work and positive approach. Thank you, John, for going above and beyond and taking the initial to strive toward excellence!
