Lauds for Larry, Sunrider’s August Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Larry Burr, our August Employee of the Month. Larry has been with Sunrider nearly 21 years and was initially hired as a customer service rep in our Order Department. He has progressed steadily throughout the years in our customer service areas, and currently holds the position of Business Services Rep IV.

His typical daily duties consist of responding to customer emails, answering phone calls, and processing returns, in addition to a multitude of other various tasks. Larry is a key member of the department and takes his responsibilities very seriously. He works tirelessly to maintain department service levels, while keeping a high degree of customer service.

When department staffing was recently reduced, Larry was asked to take on new duties and additional responsibilities. He didn’t hesitate to agree with a smile and positive attitude. When the phones aren’t ringing and the emails have all been answered, Larry can be found combing the Sunrider website to ensure he has the most recent information to share with our customers.

In addition, Larry is always willing to assist his co-workers whenever the need arises and without being asked. Larry’s team spirit, strong work ethic, and attention to detail make him an extremely valuable member of our Business Services Department.

His unwavering commitment and positive attitude make him an outstanding employee and a worthy recipient of Sunrider’s Employee of the Month award.

Congratulations, Larry!
