IT Procurement and Contracts Manager Karl Beil was recently named as a finalist for County Employee of the Year.
Karl was nominated by two of his employees, Matt Newlon and Amy Jones. In the official nomination form, they wrote,
“IST Procurement and Asset Management were recently consolidated into one department. Previously, each department did their own purchasing and kept their own inventory of their IT items. Karl was brought in from DSS to lead this effort. Since this change, IST has been responsible for purchasing and keeping an inventory of all IT items for every single department in the county. He takes a lot of time training staff to make sure everyone is knowledgeable and empowered. Every department in the county has expressed extreme satisfaction with the system that Karl has created and he deserves recognition for his hard work. He has saved County departments a lot of work hours and especially a lot of money. For his exemplary work to get this consolidation running effectively and smoothly he should be awarded Employee of the Year.”
Matt and Amy say that Karl is wonderful to work with on a personal level as well.
“I feel very lucky to be working for Karl,” says Matt. “Since day one, he has provided me with the proper procedures and policies to do my job well. But more than that, he has provided me with the principles of giving good customer service. He has to balance the wants of the customer with the laws of the state and the interests of the citizens. This can be a very thin line to walk on, and I feel that Karl does an amazing job staying on that line. When he can meet a customer's needs, he goes out of his way to do so. He has instructed his employees to do the same. He has been a wonderful mentor to me as I have embarked on a job path that I really had no previous experience in. He spends a lot of time training staff to make sure we are knowledgeable and empowered.”
Matt says that Karl also went out of his way to assist Matt during a personal crisis.
“A few months ago my apartment was damaged by fire and I had to move out with less than 24 hours notice. When I called Karl to let him know, he and Gordon Walker stopped what they were doing, each took a half day off work and immediately came to my apartment and began loading my furniture into a moving truck. This meant more to me and my family than I can express.”
Amy says, “Karl is very attentive to his employees' professional lives, as well as their personal. We really function as a family. We each rely on each other. Karl trusts Matt Newlon and I to do our jobs and do them well. I know that I have grown as a person, both professionally and personally, as a result of my working relationship and friendship with Karl. He pushes Matt and I to do the best that we can. He wants us to be able to achieve all the goals that we have set for ourselves. I have learned so many valuable lessons from him, and I'm sure I will learn many more to come.”
