Brian Watkins is a true asset to IKEA, highly valued by everyone in his work circle—from his direct supervisor to the facilities director to his co-workers. It is no surprise that his peers honored him as co-worker of the month twice during his two years there.

As a customer courtesy associate, Brian pinballs around the IKEA parking lot, where he gathers shopping carts and helps customers load their cars—all with a huge smile. Brian’s supervisor describes him as a dependable employee who adapts to new tasks and is always willing to step in and help wherever needed at the store.
