National Staffing Employee Week

CBG celebrated National Staffing Employee Week along with other temporary service firms September 18th - 24th. Our CSD Specialists have nominated reliable, flexible and dedicated field workers for the title of National Staffing Employee of the Year.

and the 2006 CBG Field Worker of the Year is...

Theodore Kilbridge

Ted came to us in October of 2000. He came to CBG with a JD and a MLS as well as a BA in English. Since then has worked in a number of law and business library environments. Not only is he very skilled in conducting business and legal research, but he also has a strong customer service philosophy. Mr. Kilbridge is very accommodating when it comes to accepting assignments. (It is not out of the ordinary for Ted to commute over an hour to work a short term assignment!)

Some of the positions Ted has held with CBG’s clients were: Library Manager at Johnson Controls; and Law Librarian at D’Ancona and Pflaum, at Bell Boyd and Lloyd, LLC, and at Freeborn and Peters, LLP.

At the end of each assignment he received high praise for his work. Here are some client comments:

Bell Boyd and Lloyd:

"He was great! After he left many lawyers and co-workers came in looking for him. He was always willing to help out with various library projects."

Freeborn and Peters: Library Manager, Maureen Newman:

“It worked out very well to have Ted fill in for me while I was on vacation. He was able to work independently and handle various types of research requests while I was gone. Based on the feedback I received from our attorneys, Ted was able to promptly assist them with their research requests in a very professional and courteous manner.”

Carol Hinton-Honoré

One can only wonder if Carol knew she was going to go work in libraries when she obtained her BS degree with a major in Biology. Prior to working for CBG in 1993 for a short time to work with clients in special libraries, she had worked as a circulation supervisor, cataloging assistant, and as an information services technician in law school and association libraries. Through the end of the 90’s, Carol continued in the information field through her work at Arthur Andersen LLP. Since her return to CBG in 2005, she has been a solo librarian in a number of libraries, a database technician, a bibliographic consultant, and is currently working as a circulation services assistant.

Carol was chosen for the LTA/Clerk Award due to her high level of professionalism, her strong customer service aptitude and her willingness to take assignments that may prove to be a “long haul” to get to.

Oak Brook Public Library’s Head of Circulation, Vernette:

"Carol has been with us for two months and is a wonderful addition to our staff. She is dependable, thorough, has a great personality and works well with both staff and patrons. We're delighted that she is being honored with this award."

Nicor Gas, Pat McCarthy:

"Each morning I produce a compilation of energy industry news that is distributed to three hundred employees including the officers of the corporation. It's important that it be produced by mid-morning, items need to be relevant, and the formatting needs to be near perfect. And I asked Carol to produce it while I was gone. She did an outstanding job under lots of pressure with grace and composure. The "library regulars" and the corporate communications administrative assistant attested to her ability when I returned. In addition to the newsletter, she kept all other functions of the library running smoothly. I'm happy to hear she is being recognized by C. Berger."

CBG would like to thank all past and current CBG field workers, as well as all of our clients, for making every National Staffing Employee Week worth celebrating!
