The Kruger Packaging S.U.S.T.A.I.N. Award Program recognizes an outstanding hourly employee each quarter who brings our leadership principles to life and helps move our organization forward.
S.U.S.T.A.I.N. stands for Support growth, Uplift others, Strive to improve, Take action, Advance innovation, Inspire engagement, and Nurture expertise—the values that sustain our culture and strengthen our teams.
Today, we’re proud to spotlight our first award recipient: Courtney Jenkins, 3rd Shift Converting Operator! Throughout her almost four years at Kruger, she has consistently inspired engagement by building a strong, high‑performing team on her shift, earning trust across other shifts, and delivering top results while stepping up to ensure operational success.
About Courtney, from the source:
My name is Courtney, and I have been with the company since June 13, 2022. I like gaming, anime, Pokémon and nerdy stuff. I also have 4 dogs and 4 cats.
Every day, I’m inspired to do my best because I have a family to take care of and coworkers who, occasionally, depend on me. I also have expensive hobbies and enjoy eating, so there’s that too!
My favorite part of the job is getting paid and continuously improving my knowledge, as well as just trying to create positive vibes sometimes.
Something I find challenging about my work is finding a good way to use my actual skill sets in leadership and apply them to everyday tasks that often seem repetitive.
