Recognizing and celebrating team members across Barry-Wehmiller for their contributions to our vision of people and performance in harmony is not only the right thing to do, it is a fundamental value of our culture.

Through the Every Voice Matters cultural assessment many of you shared the desire to see more recognition, and in response to that we encourage everyone, everywhere, to join us here in highlighting all of the great things happening across Barry-Wehmiller.

This newsletter celebrates a variety of achievements across the globe and showcases areas of our BW Recognition & Celebration culture from the Bob Chapman GPL Award program, the Shine the Light Award program, and more!

Svetlana Weidner 

Nürtingen, Germany

BW Papersystems Nominator Martina Rexrodt shared:

"Svetlana is instrumental in improving the CAD system by constantly providing feedback. She doesn't take things for granted; instead, she contributes her own suggestions for improving the system. Only through such feedback can we continually improve. I'm not only very grateful for her feedback, but also for her team spirit and willingness to adapt. She's always willing to help."

Logan Peabody

Spokane, WA USA

Alliance Nominator Sonia Freshler shared:

"Logan, you have made Finance Team life easier. Automation of accounting processes saved us labor hours. We have saved at least 2 labor hours daily, thanks for your help in the automation of Cycle Counting reports. For many, it is so intimidating to prepare the CA Sales Tax Return because there are so many Schedules to prepare and so many different variables to consider. With your help in the automation of the process, not only it makes it very user friendly it also saved us at least 2 to 3 labor hours a month. Thank you for your patience and your automation expertise."

Srinivasan Seshadri

Chennai, TN India

BW Corporate EDS Nominator Sridharan Balaiyan shared:

"I would like to recognize Srinivasan Seshadri with the Shining the Light award for his exceptional commitment and impact on our order fulfillment area. When faced with an unexpected vacancy, Srini stepped up without hesitation, taking on a new role and quickly mastering its criteria, processes, tools, and team dynamics. His ability to ensure seamless business continuity, without any gap or interruption, was truly commendable. Srini also worked closely with suppliers to ensure that inquiries were handled promptly, demonstrating both dedication and efficiency. His contribution during a critical growth period last year was instrumental in maintaining the smooth operation of our sourcing functions. Srini’s hard work, adaptability, and focus on process efficiency exemplify the qualities that drive our team forward."

Tim Hughes

Baltimore, MD USA

BW Papersystems Nominator Andrew Weaver shared:

"Tim is always a team player and makes sure his team has what they need to get the job done. Recently he helped out a team member in a different department when they were having a medical emergency. Tim dropped what he was doing to provide care and ensure the other team member was comfortable until responders arrived. It makes me happy to work with people that are compassionate and caring enough to help out anyone around them."

Joe Crenshaw

Duncan, SC USA

BW Flexible Systems Nominator Nathan Hoffmann shared:

“Joe has been fundamental in ensuring the success of a customer in Eastern Tennessee. He was a driving force in ensuring a new to market product was going to be a success at their plant, working tirelessly, sometimes well into the morning. Joe's dedication reiterated to the customer how committed BW is to the partnership and ensuring their success.”

Cassidy Dahlke

"Cassidy has brought a renewed energy to our Safety Culture. Her communication skills, drive for excellence, and work ethic are absolutely outstanding. Since taking on her new role, she has gained the trust of our employees by listening and taking action. Our proactive safety improvements have increased, and injuries have decreased. She is the main driver of our behavior-based improvements."
