Jim Berlin Audio Comments
“We get a lot of awards, which is pretty cool actually. But the workplace awards are the ones that mean the most to me. That’s your own employees saying, ‘I like being here,’ and to me, that is the key to success,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “I’ve always been proud of our team, but I’ve never felt better about who we have here now than I do today. It’s unbelievable. I see people here who bust their butts, work really hard, and have great attitudes. I’ve never been more sure of us as a successful company as I am today,”
