CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – The Franklin County Commissioners proudly presented the June Employee of the Month award to Gayle Schreiber during the board’s July 2 public meeting. Schreiber has been employed by Franklin County since August 2016 and serves as a casework supervisor II with the county’s children and youth services department.
June’s Employee of the Month recipient was determined by the Special Thanks and Recognition (STAR) Committee, which received 20 nominations for the June award, six of which were for Schreiber. Those who nominated Schreiber spoke of her positive attitude and willingness to put her own needs aside in an effort to assist others in her department.
“I’ve been a county employee for just three months and Gayle has made me feel at home since day one,” said one employee. “She always greets you with a smile. She has a positive attitude and great sense of humor, which is important in this department. I always feel I can ask Gayle any question if my supervisor isn’t available. She is an inspiration to all around her!”
Another nomination said, “Gayle makes sure her unit is taken care of and is always checking in on her caseworkers. She goes above and beyond to help her unit when it is needed, even when she does not have to. She continues to strive for perfection, which makes us better caseworkers. Gayle is wonderful, efficient and caring.”
“Mrs. Schreiber…upholds the true meaning of the county’s definition of ‘service,’” noted another coworker, referring to Franklin County’s seven established values, which, as an acronym, spell S-E-R-V-I-C-E. “Mrs. Schreiber started at children and youth as a caseworker and has worked her way up to being an ongoing supervisor. She has maintained an outstanding work ethic and as a leader, she instills her knowledge and training with others. Mrs. Schreiber is in every sense of the word the county’s mission of ‘service.’ Each letter from ‘s’ to ‘e’ represents her in every way. She applies each letter to her work ethic for her day-to-day work at children and youth and for the county.”
One nomination cited, “Gayle is a huge support to all staff at children and youth. She is constantly supporting her unit members and willing to go on home visits with them. When someone is upset, she always checks in on the person and tries to make them smile. Regardless of what is going on in Gayle’s life, she makes time each day to check on me. She can tell when something is wrong and will do anything to make sure you are supported. She is very engaged in cases and is only a phone call away when needed. Her dedication to children and youth over the years has been phenomenal and she shines very bright as a supervisor with a lot of knowledge.”
“Gayle is a mama bear to many of the caseworkers,” said one individual. “She remains available anytime to anyone that needs anything. She is always willing to lend a listening ear. Gayle keeps the energy in this stressful job positive. She greets everyone each day with a ‘Good morning!’ Gayle is also one of the last to leave each day as she will check to make sure everyone is okay.”
Another nomination read, “Gayle is one of the best people here at children and youth. She supports her unit as a great and encouraging supervisor. She is supportive of everyone in children and youth. No matter what kind of day she may be having, Gayle is still upbeat, has a smile on her face and stays positive. She knows each and every case of her caseworkers and helps when anyone needs anything. Gayle isn’t just an employee of the month but an employee who shows she understands, encourages and is always there for everyone, even on her worst days. Gayle is an employee of a lifetime as she is always there to fill in and take care of staff when they are having a bad day as well. She always seems to put everyone else above herself.”
Schreiber’s outstanding characteristics are attributes that have not gone unnoticed by her peers. Those who work alongside Schreiber described her as dedicated, positive, kind, persistent, strong, amicable, responsible, truthful, loyal, caring, engaged, supportive, committed and brave.
The Franklin County Commissioners congratulated Schreiber on her recognition and thanked her for her excellent work and for exuding such a high standard of knowledge, leadership and excellence to the employees and residents of Franklin County.
