Tomiko James is more than just a boss at Hometowne Studios in Atlanta, GA. She is an exceptional employee and a cherished friend to us all. Her leadership and dedication have not only contributed to the success of our organization but also created an environment that we all enjoy working in.

However, her tenure with us is due to end soon, which has left many of us concerned about the future without her guidance and support. We believe that extending her stay until the end of June could provide significant benefits for both the staff and the organization as a whole.

According to Gallup's State of American Workplace report, having a high-quality manager can improve employee engagement by up to 70%. This statistic reflects Tomiko's impact on our team - she has fostered an engaged workforce that thrives under her leadership (source: Gallup).

Moreover, it takes time for new leaders to adapt and make meaningful contributions. The Society for Human Resource Management estimates it can take anywhere from six months to two years for new leaders to reach their full productivity (source: SHRM). By extending Tomiko’s tenure until June, we can ensure continuity in leadership during this crucial period.

We urge those responsible for making this decision at Hometowne Studios to consider our plea seriously. Let’s keep Tomiko James with us till the end of June – because good bosses are hard to find! Please sign this petition if you agree.
