Changes to F.A.S.T. Teams

Hey EE Survey FAST Team! Our Leader, Steve Murtoff, sent the following communication today, (Tuesday, Sep. 24) via Company e-mail. In case you missed it ... here it is! (Note: If you did not respond to Steve's e-mail with a Team preference, you may have been reassigned to another Team. Those that gave a preference were given top priority depending on their listed preference.)



FAST Members,

Thank you to everyone who has responded with their areas of interest, as well as for sharing your continued and renewed commitment to the Team. It was truly refreshing and energizing to feel your passion and hunger to make a difference within and for our workgroup.

Attached you’ll find our most current roster, with everyone placed on one of three Teams. I really did my best to align you with the areas that fit your passion, keeping in mind many of you are currently involved in EE Survey work or Galley Refresh. In order to maintain the integrity of that work, there was only a limited number I was able to add to Onboard Experience and Employee Development. That said, as the need arises to grow this Team we’ll continue to calibrate the numbers necessary for each of the business areas, allowing movement. Also, you may notice three new, possibly familiar names to our Team (Chad Martin, Davide Stennett, and Theresa Bedoy). These outstanding People are current Inflight Supervisors. My vision for this Team is to create a diverse group of backgrounds, thoughts, and vision points. As a front-line Leader, I believe they’ll offer tremendous insight and resources to successfully complete the mission. Also, they’ll work as change agents for preparing the rest of our Base Leaders as we move forward with projects and initiatives. To be clear, they have not been asked to Lead the Teams, strictly participate alongside you.

To ensure that you receive continued support, communication, and the tools to succeed, I’ve also enlisted the assistance of designated Team Leads for each of the three business areas. You will get to know these Leaders closely, as you will the other members of your Team. I’ve asked them essentially to ensure two things: They create opportunities, as well as ensure their Team is running effectively. By opportunities, I mean opportunities to produce change, growth, and continuous improvement. They’ll be working closely with our HDQ Leaders (including myself) to find ways to engage your insight and input. They’ll find ways for you to be involved and I’ll rely on them to synthesize and promote your recommendations. They are your advocate. By running an effective Team, they will hold their Teams accountable to maintaining engaged, positive, and looking forward. This will remain an elite Team of FAs, and Employees. We are all accountable to upholding the credibility of this Team.

So, here they are….

Beverly Behrens (Sr. Analyst Cabin Services Strategy) - Employee Development Team Lead
Jenny Manheimer (Inflight Manager Customer Experience) – Onboard Experience Team Lead
Kevin Clark – (Inflight Manager Customer Experience) - Safety and Regulatory Team Lead

You’ll be hearing from your respective Lead very soon, and they may want to get you together to get started on laying a foundation and gaining some momentum prior to our entire Team meeting in November.

I am VERY excited about the potential of this Team. I believe that this structure will enable progress and continuous forward momentum. I could not be more proud to support this cause!

Steve
