Overflowing with Gratitude this Thanksgiving Season

This Thanksgiving season finds the team at LeaderStat thankful for many things. Hear from some of our dedicated staff as they share from their gratitude list.

“I am thankful for the collaboration with healthcare centers and their trust in us to partner with them to provide services that impact care and daily operations.” -- Teresa Remy, Director of Consulting. 

“I am grateful to be part of an organization that has a wonderful culture. Prior to joining LeaderStat, I was working remotely for over a year and felt that I was missing out on the in-person connection. I love being around people, and LeaderStat makes it easy to want to come to the office. Everyone here is supportive, patient, and kind. And the office dogs are a bonus, too. During the week, I spend more time around my coworkers than I do at home with my family, so feeling valued and like I’m part of the team is a huge contributor to my overall happiness. I know many people don’t get excited about going to work, but I am truly grateful to say that I do.” -- Gina Breckenridge, Digital Marketing Specialist

“I am grateful for the unconditional love and support from my family, friends, and my work family at LeaderStat. I am thankful for being a part of the LeaderStat family, the most wonderful company I have ever worked for! And last but not least, I am grateful for Ohio State football and dark chocolate.” 🙂 -- Melissa Shutrump, Executive Search Consultant

“I am thankful for my amazing and strong wife, Mandy, who leads our family through all the twists and turns of life and for my kiddos, Tucker (age 4) and Flora (age 2), who are my adventure buddies and just make life a whole lot sweeter! Also, my parents, in-laws, brother and his family, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and all my extended family. Family is what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving Day and every day.”   -- Aaron Barton, Director of Travel Nursing

As we look back over a year that challenged us all, we are all indebted to the healthcare heroes who selflessly labored, serving patients and organizations across the country as we collectively waged war against the COVID-19 virus.

We appreciate every client who partnered with us, trusting us to provide solutions to their staffing needs amid an uncertain employment landscape.

Our gratitude overflows for the job seekers who sought our assistance, creating for us a deep pool of talented workers eager to fill positions across every aspect of healthcare.

Thank you for believing in us and allowing us to be your recruiting and staffing partner.

As we prepare to gather in celebration of Thanksgiving, our thoughts turn to the special times we’ll share with family, friends, and coworkers, gathered around dining room tables and in breakrooms, and the array of food that will bless these gatherings.
