    • Awarded to Kasia Kowalewski
      Values Award Winner Insight Canada Feb 2017 I would like to nominate Kasia. She is ALWAYS willing to help when someone needs any sort of help and last night that was me. I was working on a form and needed some help. She was texting me providing any help I needed well after she got home. She even logged in from home to make some changes and add the Insight logo. This is truly above and beyond! Kasia, thank you so much for all you do day in and day out. :-)

Thank you.

She is a truly a huge asset to Insight.""I was having trouble setting up one of my clients on the web with a username and password. Kasia joined me on Lync and was going to show me step by step how to create them although my browser stopped working and I wasn't able to log onto the Insight Canada website. Kasia created the logins herself and sent me the info to transfer to my clients and then told IT about the problem I was having at which point they contacted me. She obviously went out of her way to help and I appreciated it greatly." Show less

      Values Award Winner Insight Canada Oct 2012 Sometimes it's all those little things people do that make them amazing. Kasia does a lot of little amazing things everyday! I find Kasia to be an extremely helpful, quick and willing teammate. She always helps you with a smile and has a great sense of humor. I only wish I had more opportunities to work with her, as the few times I do, every couple of months, are always so pleasant.

      Values Award Winner Insight Canada Feb 2012 Kasia is being nominated for the month of February because she has truly stepped up the last couple of months, since we lost a teammate.

She takes on what ever is thrown at her or she will proactively take it and own it. In January she was tasked with taking and running the North American sales rally, while driving other events (not her role), taking on the role managing and driving any internal communications and doing what she is responsible for- driving the web (client calls/ merchandizing, etc). She has been staying late 3-4 nights a week and working weekends. If it were not for Kasia stepping in and taking this over, a lot would not have happened. She has well represented all of 5 values.
