CHICAGO, July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The loss of David Jobes
will be felt by all who worked alongside him at Motivation
Excellence. As a leader in the performance improvement and
incentive industry, David helped create an award-winning culture,
as well as a competitive and long-standing company in a niche
community. Motivation Excellence is 39 years old, with David being
an integral part of it for the last 32 years.
The Motivation Excellence team mourns the
loss of Owner & CEO David
Jobes.
David bought Motivation Excellence six years ago, after serving
as long-time President. While leading the company he molded the
culture of the business to reflect his values of respect,
integrity, trust, exceeding expectations, charity, collaboration
and environmental stewardship.
Award Winning
David made it a goal to be an employer of choice when he
purchased the company in 2018. Since that time, Motivation
Excellence has been honored with six years of being named a Best
and Brightest Companies to Work For® recipient, both locally and
nationally.
He was thrilled when his team recently won back-to-back Society
for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE) Crystal Awards for
outstanding travel programs too. He believed that when his people
felt secure and valued, their clients ultimately benefited from it.
Thinking like an owner and treating everyone with respect were
hallmarks David preached to his team.
A New Work Environment
David moved the company's Schaumburg,
IL headquarters in 2020. The new building offered upgraded
amenities and the ability to build out a dream work environment. He
worked closely with his designer to create a collaborative, open
workspace that included eco-friendly and vegan materials from the
ceiling tiles to the coasters in the meeting rooms.
Expansion
At the end of 2021, David purchased VIKTOR Incentives &
Meetings. The newly-merged companies quickly became one team with
two locations. Under his leadership, everyone at Motivation
Excellence exudes the work ethic and shared values to create
programs that Inspire Extraordinary Performance.
Legacy
As the driving force behind constantly improving company culture
and client experiences, he inspired those he worked with to be
lifelong learners and strive for the next level in personal and
professional growth areas. Under his direction the company donated
more than $100,000 to various
charities, most of which were hand-selected by his employees. He
was especially pleased to help support Ingage Unlimited, an
international volunteer training organization that sends groups to
impoverished locations throughout the world to provide training in
the areas of education, healthcare, business and leadership
development.
His team will continue David's legacy through exemplary service
to their clients, each other, and the community. The entire
Motivation Excellence team sends their deepest sympathies to his
family.
