American Packaging Corporation has been awarded the Best Workplace in the Americas designation, Best of the Best 2015, for their exemplary human resources practices. The Best Workplace award was originally created to specifically honor printing companies that provide an overall positive work environment, with the top designation of “Best of the Best” recognizing employers who have established a superior, long-time commitment to the needs of its employees as well as the continual improvement of their business.
A panel of highly respected business professionals reviewed the submissions for the Printing Industries of America trade organization. Winning companies were chosen for regularly demonstrating a commitment to their employees to create a high quality work environment, concern about personal and financial goals and balancing these with the needs of the business. Applicants were judged on eight criteria: workplace health and safety; management practices; work environment; training and development opportunities; financial security; work-life balance; recognition and rewards; and health and wellness programs.
“Receiving this award for the eighth time truly demonstrates American Packaging’s commitment to its employees in providing a safe and reputable place to work,” says Peter B. Schottland, President and CEO of American Packaging. “Developing programs that focus on employees’ overall well-being insures we attract and retain the best people in the industry.”
Michael Makin, President and CEO of Printing Industries of America, agrees: “Best of the Best winners routinely exhibit the highest commitment to success in many ways, but particularly through their employees. Congratulations to American Packaging.”
