Col. Charles Williams, Fort Leonard Wood garrison commander and Wayne Bardell, director of Fort Leonard Wood Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, signed the employee covenant on the main stage at the July 4th celebration in front of 17,000 FMWR customers and hundreds of FMWR employees.

The signing of the Family and MWR Employee and Customer Covenant marked a commitment to increase employee morale and customer satisfaction.

The driving force behind the covenant is the Installation Management Command, replicating what the Army did with the Army Family Covenant. Army Senior Executive Leadership approved the comprehensive, holistic customer service program for the Army family and FMWR to create and sustain a customer-service culture.

“The signing of this covenant is the Army, IMCOM, and Fort Leonard Wood’s commitment to provide our Family and MWR employees a higher quality of life and holds FMWR and garrison command accountable to its team members,” Williams said. “This is part of a changing culture so that all team members feel they are part of the team, they matter, they make a difference in our community.”
