FDC Graphic Films recognized three valuable employees as Core Values Ambassadors in the third quarter of 2022 for exemplifying one or more of the company’s five core values.
FDC’s Core Values are believed to be the five most important values in the way company employees live and work: integrity, kindness, resiliency, engagement and drive for success.

“Our team, our customers and the world have faced difficult challenges this past year,” says Judy Eck, CEO of FDC. “These team members demonstrate their commitment to the Core Values through their actions, which makes me very proud. Thank you to all of the nominees. It is a pleasure to be surrounded by a team that is passionate about the FDC’s goals and exhibits compassion toward one another every day.”

Luz Aguilar, recently promoted to production team lead, was recognized for her integrity and engagement. Dedicated to her work, Aguilar is organized, cares about the perfect products for customers and is patient with her colleagues, according to the company.

The team member who nominated her recalls that, when Aguilar was a prior craft lead, she made the Craft department tidier and safer and motivated her when she was nervous about participating in a physical inventory for the first time.

Aguilar told her in Spanish, “No le tengas miedo al trabajo major que el trabajo te tenga miedo a ti” (“Don’t be afraid of hard work; hard work should be afraid of you”) which helped change her way of thinking. Aguilar is also an active member of the FDC Work-Life Team.

In the company’s fourth double nomination, a shipping team was nominated for kindness and drive for success. Team members include shipping associates Juan Cervantes and Anthony Quan. Cervantes and Quan helped ship 20 extra orders to meet the company’s goals and are always willing to help anyone, the company says.

And when the department needed additional assistance due to a temporary labor shortage, they both stayed late to ensure that shipments were sent out on time. This is Cervantes’ second award. The first was earlier this year for his engagement and also for his drive for success.

Each employee received an FDC Core Values Ambassador Award certificate from the FDC Work-Life Team signed by Eck.
