Colleague wins personal achievement award

Thomson Reuters in Eagan, Minn. believes strongly in being a good partner to the community. Part of that commitment involves hiring a diverse work force.

In partnership with Lifeworks Services, a local nonprofit that helps people with disabilities have lives that are fuller and more integrated within the community, the Eagan manufacturing facility has provided employment for seven individuals for more than 16 years.

Recently, one of those colleagues, Glen Martinek, was nominated by his Thomson Reuters co-workers for a personal achievement award through Lifeworks – and he won! Glen was honored for his strong work ethic, positive attitude and perseverance.

“Even though he has decreasing physical ability, Glen has not let that become a reason to decrease his dedication to his job,” says Troy Mattick, workflow coordinator at Thomson Reuters. “He is an amazing man whose desire and effort to be a contributing member of the Thomson Reuters team has been an inspiration to me and others.”

A video feature was created to share Glen’s story:
