We are thrilled to announce Jessica Couch as Standley Systems' Employee of the Month! Jessica’s passion, dedication, and boundless energy have been lighting up our workplace for the past nine years, making her an invaluable part of our team.
If Standley Systems were a party, Jessica would be the life of it— the one making sure everyone’s having a blast, feeling included, and leaving with a smile. As our Culture (E4) Champion, she’s been sprinkling her magic across the company, a title that barely scratches the surface of all she does. Just in case you didn’t know, E4 stands for Excellent, Experience for Everyone, Every time. Yep, we’re all about keeping it top-notch!
From orchestrating Spirit Week shenanigans to keeping Big Fred in tip-top shape, Jessica's got her hands in everything that makes Standley’s culture vibrant and dynamic. She provides support for onboarding, helps with interviews, and assists with wellness initiatives that keep Team Standley feeling their best. And let’s not forget LEAD Now and Affinity Group — she’s the driving force behind these programs, making sure leadership development is not just a concept but a reality.
Jessica doesn’t just keep things running; she keeps them evolving. She helps with the Leadership Academy, provides E4 mentorship, and did we mention she’s Working Genius certified? That means she helps teams unlock their superpowers and weave them seamlessly into Standley’s culture.
When asked about her favorite part of the job, Jessica can’t pick just one (because how do you choose when you love it all?). She adores teaching people, giving them the tools to thrive, and reminding everyone that they’re part of something truly special. Making employees' days brighter and helping them balance work and life? Just another Tuesday for Jessica.
Outside the office, Jessica’s heart belongs to her family. She and her husband have two grown children — her 27-year-old son, an OU grad, and her 20-year-old daughter, a current OSU student (house divided, but hearts united). She misses having them at home but relishes watching them chase their dreams. Jessica cherishes getting her family together, whether they’re exploring Ouray, Colorado, or soaking up the sun in Destin with her daughter’s best friend. And if the kids let her tag along on their adventures? Even better.
When she’s not busy being a workplace wizard or a family enthusiast, you’ll find Jessica crafting, reading, or discovering new hobbies in her empty-nest era. She’s also an active member of First Baptist Church in Chickasha, where she shares her love and kindness working in the nursery on Wednesday nights.
Congratulations, Jessica! Thank you for all the joy, wisdom, and heart you bring to the table — we’re lucky to have you!
