This week we are joined by Chelsea Leathers, the Front End Supervisor for Home Depot. She has kindly taken the time to talk with us about one of her employees, Nate, who found his position through Imagine!'s Employment Services program.

Nate is one of our Lot Attendants and has been a great addition to the team! He is a dedicated and hard worker, showing up to every shift with a burst of positivity and joy. When the loudspeaker broadcasts a request to load merchandise into a customer’s vehicle, Nate is the first to respond and walks over with a big smile and high energy for each customer. This is the type of energy and professionalism we are looking for.

His communication is strong, always letting me know when he’s going on break or when a task is complete. That is what I need and appreciate. His effective communication sets a great example for my other staff who are still working on this!

Caitlyn, Nate’s Job Coach, has been the best supporting both Home Depot and Nate, checking in on a regular basis and making sure that Nate has everything he needs to be successful. I don’t look at Nate as someone with a disability. We’re all human and have our own traits. His coworkers have embraced Nate as one of their own and it’s been wonderful to watch the team become stronger because of it.
