For the month of June we are spotlighting our Background Screening team. Meet Tambe Summers, Senior Program Manager. #GSBackgroundSpotlight
ALT “I enjoy collaborating with and building strong, trusting relationships with people all around the world. I also really enjoy working towards and implementing solutions that minimize or eliminate manual touch, that drive process efficiency and consistency, and result in high standards for data integrity.”
"To achieve this, cross-team collaboration was so key, with CELA, IT, Privacy, Security, Procurement, our 3rd Party Background Screening Providers, and 1500 Microsoft Suppliers."
#SafetyTip | Be wary of flooding after a hurricane or tropical storm.
ALT Avoid walking or driving through flood waters. Just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and fast-moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
Be careful of flood water as it may be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines, hide dangerous debris, or hide places where the ground has washed away.
