Ohio Industrial Commission Customer Service Supervisor in Dayton District Office Named August 2024 Employee of the Month

COLUMBUS, OH - The Ohio Industrial Commission congratulates Barbara Edwards, Customer Service Supervisor in the Dayton District Office, on being named as the August 2024 Employee of the Month.

Edwards' nominator wrote: “Barb always goes above and beyond when it comes to managing the Dayton office. During the process of hiring new employees, Barb has worn many hats. She has assisted with training, made binders for the new employees, followed up on all questions explaining how they tie into procedures, coached and developed employees, and cleaned desks and office space. She coordinates with building management to ensure issues are resolved quickly. When the office had to close for a few hours due to a water/gas issue, she communicated with building management and the staff to keep them up-to-date, so the office could re-open as quickly as possible.”

The nominator concluded with: “Barb is always smiling and happy and creates a positive environment in the office.”

Edwards is a Customer Service Supervisor in the Dayton District Office. Her supervisor is Shelly Ahr. Barb started at the Ohio Industrial Commission in April 2022. This is her first time being named as the Ohio Industrial Commission Employee of the Month.

Edwards was nominated by one of her coworkers and chosen for the award by the agency’s Employee of the Month Committee.

Barbara resides in Dayton, Ohio.
