They foster a High Performing Team environment by coaching during shifts, creating a safe space for communication, and engaging and understanding Family Members' specific work needs. Managers make and encourage decisions to be made by the right role to provide efficiency, timely customer support, and improved resourcing. Managers ensure that DKT operating procedures are being followed to drive operational excellence.
