Thumbs-Up to our January Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Greg Palmer, our January Employee of the Month. Greg, a Senior Graphic Designer in Regional Operations, has been with Sunrider nine years and is responsible for designing new marketing and promotional tools, customizing universal tools to the US market, and more.

Last November, Greg completely redesigned the SR Newsletter (now in full color!), which was very well received by US IBOs. He regularly designs original, vibrant, and effective one-page promotional flyers to promote products, teleconferences, meetings, and other programs and events. Greg also works on product catalogs, product cards, and other marketing tools, which he creates in three languages—English, Chinese, and Spanish. This requires him to handle multiple projects at the same time, and with changing priorities. Greg does this fluidly and with a great attitude. He is reliable, dependable, and meets deadlines on a regular basis.

January was a very busy month for Greg, as he worked on the Seasonal Product Catalog in English and Chinese, newsletters in three languages, PowerPoint presentations, and multiple event flyers. These are just a few of the reasons why Greg was chosen as our Employee of the Month—but there are many more (we didn’t have room to list them all)!:)

Congratulations, Greg, and thanks for your great service to Sunrider.

Below, Greg tells us a bit more about his career at Sunrider (and other fun tidbits).

Q1: What is the best thing about being a SR employee?
I think the best thing about being an SR employee is the sense of camaraderie. We all pull together to get the job done...kind of like a family.

Q2: What’s your best memory of SR?
My best memory of SR is a Christmas party a few years ago. We were doing a Christmas skit with a “beach party” theme, and I helped carry Rick Ricardo into the room on a surf board, dressed as a mermaid. Believe me, I’ll smile about that for the rest of my life!

Q3: What do you like most about your job?
What I enjoy best about my job, is the creative freedom I’m allowed. There are so many new, exciting projects...it keeps my creativity flowing constantly!

Q4: What’s your favorite color?
I don’t really have a favorite color. As a designer, I have to love them all the same (except, I am partial to blue...don’t tell the other colors though!).

Q5: Do you have any pets?
I have two red-eared slider turtles. Their names are Sid and Nancy. I’ve had them for almost three years. They are extremely entertaining!

Thanks for sharing, Greg!
